I broke a finger! Left hand, last little joint at the end, right behind the finger nail.
The tiller extension hooked a swell, pulled my hand back against the tiller crossbar, then sprung back and smacked my hand against the rear crossbar. That's wear it got broken.
I told my son, I think I just broke my finger. He said, Let's go in.
I said, It's OK - I lost feeling in the finger!
It was only after we capsized because I couldn't hold the main sheet with the broken finger hand that we went in for the weekend.
