John Taylor - Rollercoaster
|
|
Many of you may have noticed that John Taylor of Rollercoaster has not been seen on the water or around the club much recently.
|
|
This is due to a shoulder injury that he suffered a few weeks back after a race. Last week he under went surgery to fix the issue and is at home recovering as we speak. This injury has seen John not being able to get on the water himself which as an avid sailor and club member has frustrated him terribly and it looks like he will be off the water for some time to come as he has many hours of rehab to undertake. Luckily he has a great team running the boat so its still racing and he is involved as”Shore Crew”ensuring that all goes well.
|
|
The RMYS team would like to wish John a speedy recovery and let him know we are thinking of him and look forward to seeing him back behind the helm soon.
|
Please join us in wishing him a quick recovery.
