ahhh. i was 19 i think. I was on our old boat...a 60 foot long custom steel ketch. We were almost inside cutyhunk harbor and had just headed up into the wind do do something, maybe drop the main, I forget...Anyway, I was up on the fordeck. I bent over to grab something and the clew of the genoa somehow managed to come from behind me and tag my nuts at about 100 mph.. For those who dont know what the clew is, on that sail it was a 2 inch stainless grommet sewn into the corner of the sail. it probably weighs a pound.
i get the shivers just thinking about that one
