R9: Boom! Literally...

This is how you earn a DNS - as in did not start.

The Crew

John (Captain), Dave, Mark and Nick.

The Start

The wind was southerly and we were cruising up the harbour towards Chelsea. Time to turn back to the box and the start - it was a tack, however as we were reaching when we tacked around we let the boom flop over to the other side... this was not expected by Nick, who received a heavy blow from the boom to the forehead. A trip to White Cross and then Auckland Hospital saw him being discharged - albeit with a nasty dent in the old scone.

Beverage Report

No beer was consumed - although Dave had bought an IPA and we were seriously considering... nah, better not turn up to A&E smelling like beer.


Cheers, johnhs
