Don't you hate it when someone fiddles with your carefully tied toestraps while you're out for a blast ....

The same thing happened to me when i was teaching yesterday. All of a sudden you've fallen out the back of the boat and now your group won't listen to you because they think you can't sail

Villan, you really think it was wise to name the victims? They may decide to target your OWN toestraps now... (oh no, I'm not giving them ideas...)  My dad's toestraps once broke and he fell out but managed to keep hold of the shrouds somehow, I've had several nearly embarassing moments in toppers of all things when I miss the toestraps and sliiide...

I've had toe straps break on me in the 400. I guess i just hiked so hard? once at the start of a long distance race. Manage to keep my self in the boat using the jib sheet. Just a shame I had to hike on a piece of rope for 12 miles.

A blast, at BLYM!  Not big enough!

I've read that several times now, and still can't keep a straight face whilst doing so  . I do hope there was an audience - would be mean to keep such a sight all to yourself!

Lesson No.1 - Don't have toestraps. If you haven't got them, they can't come undone!

Very funny all the same.

I feel the pain- I accidently backfliped off the Iso on Sunday. Drew a round of applause from the assembled Mustos and Contenders around us.
