Tim again: During the delivery to Sada, Katrina Ham, Diane’s friend and fellow mini-competitor, had goose neck problem (joins the boom to the mast). Katrina requested an escort from a support boat. For the entrance to the harbour of Ribadeo, Katrina was under tow. A wave capsized Katrina’s boat. Katrina was promptly recovered from the water and taken to hospital. Understand she is under observation, but otherwise fine. Less sure about her boat. Reports vary or omit details, but one report has it abandoned.
Godspeed for a quick and full recovery Katrina.

Just read this new tweet: “Katrina Ham is out of the hospital. All is well, but she is still a very shocked sailor and her boat is not seaworthy. #MiniTransat”
