On Sunday 20 September Idefix VII went out for a test sail after having the stays repaired from previous dis-mast. All went good until jibing from starboard to port close to FN2, Idefix VII pitch poled into a wave just as I was changing sides. The picture above is from an other jibe some year back, it shows the position my right leg just before the crash. I think I was not leaning on the knee but more sitting like a kangaroo before been thrown forward. My weight on my right leg caused then the fibula to snap.
Coordinating jibes in waves is to me an open question that needs further study.
