Todd,

Sorry to hear this news. Glad to hear you're on the path to mending, although I'm sure it's going to be a long road. I really feel for you - beginning of the sailing season too!



I frequently hike hard from the straps with the crew on the wire, especially in puffy conditions. Now I've got something else to think about...



Here's hoping for a fast and complete recovery! Hopefully you'll still be able to find a way to be on the water this year!



p.s. - the spinnaker set up is progressing, it has been delayed due to time spent on some other projects, I'll send some pics when it's all together...
