Just had a visit from Claude after his big stack at Safety Bay yesterday and have to say I've never seen anything like it. Beside's his cracked rib's he has indentation's of stitching from the sail on his face, and a sore thumb!
Now, everyone should have a guess at the insane speed Claude was travelling to do this damage - choose from the following 43kn. - 40kn. - 35kn. - 30kn. or 5kn

Definitely 40+. Claude wouldn't come off under 40.
Nice to see you doing it hard for the SRM Claude.

And summer hasn't even started .....!

Allright, Claude's speed was 5knots! He say's he was about to get planning when hit by a severe gust. Sorry Claude, but that's pretty unlucky - enjoy your month or so on the sideline's.

what a beauty, i would say at 43knots, just when you think your gonna smash your pb, you spin out, hit some chop then catch a rail, and cart wheel across the top of the water
