Albi the Laser sailor insisted he take a photograph of me beside my damaged boat. I was feeling a bit glum at the time which is a polite way of saying I was really, really fucked off. The sense of an historical photographic imperative that overcame him at the time has I guess preserved the moment and made it available for this blog post, so thanks Albi.

I have a photo somewhere of me standing next to a dinghy I did the same to during a race.. my commiserations... but in an effort purely to cheer you up, and as is traditional between sailors in these situations, "bit of gaffer tape and she'll be good to go".. :o)
Thanks for your solidarity Steve ... and yes if this had been a weekend regatta, I would have simply used gaffer tape and kept on sailing (I have done that before). Great stuff gaffer tape. In fact if it wasn't for gaffer tape I think the whole planet would fall apart.
