Just got back from the hospital where they confirmed a broken bone in my foot sustained yesterday (Sat 7th) at Dorans. Following David Jacks' example from the pre-ceding weekend I went over the handlebars in the straps landing a chop jump nose first. On the plus side had an excellent hour or so sailing in fun Dorans conditions before it happened. On the downside will be six weeks in a boot thng and still need a CAT scan to see if there is other damage to the ligaments, etc.

In terms of lessons to be learned:-

If you an out of control muppet like me its best not to jump hooked in.
I probbaly had my front foot straps a bit loose which meant my feet slid into the straps all the way to the ankle. I reckon that increases the risk in such a prang.
You may as well sail mast high BOL at Marrawah as its just as easy to axe yourself on a two foot bit of chop at Dorans :-)

Anyway enjoy the rest of the wndy conditions everyone and try not to boost the coffers of the Hobart Orthopaedic businesses any further.

Cheers
