Crewman injured at start of Centenary Cup

Charlie Hill received a severe blow to the head whilst crewing on Wattoo.

The crew where preparing the sails and a reef had been set, the skipper called for a “jibe” and all took up positions. Charlie avoided the boom but the main-sheet slammed into his side, knocking him over where he struck his head on the stanchion and toe-rail knocking him out.

Fortunately the incident happened inside of the harbour and with the assistance of NSRI and GuardMed Charlie was stabilized and taken to St Georges, received 8 stitches and later discharged.

On the same afternoon Thomas Ochabski sailing his Laser snapped his boom when winds picked-up with gusts recorded over 32 Knots. Thomas managed to safely return to the slip-way.
