Sydney Hobart Yacht Race - Owner/Skipper
REVIEW 🙌
15 days before the 2019 Sydney to Hobart start, I suffered a high grade 2 tear to my calf, as confirmed by an MRI. Advice from a prominent surgeon was that I shouldn’t go and would need 6 – 8 weeks of intensive rehab before I could even start to think about racing again to avoid further injury or need for surgery.
I was shattered, this was my first Sydney to Hobart and together with the other 13 members we had spent 18 months training and qualifying for this race.
My good friend Wayne Pearce introduced me to Niv. 14 days later I departed Sydney harbour as planned. Whilst being aware of my injury I got through the race comfortably, with no pain at all, was completely and amazingly mobile and sustained no further injury.
I have no doubt whatsoever this was only made possible by Niv’s knowledge and skill for which I will always be truly grateful.
We finished 8th in our division and 69th out of 170 boats.”
