I've got too many to remember or bore you all with, but moment include, breaking three sets of laser 2 toestraps in as many weeks from hiking too hard. Missing toestraps on a topper at the NSSA team racing finals and costing us the race, bouncing out of the trapeeze hook going upwing right next to the committee boat at the 29er inlands, capsizing onto rocks in the tyne and savalging the only my crew, the hull, foils and kite, and nothing else! The list goes on but if i say anymore i doubt i'll be allowed to sail out of any club in the country again!
