From Jim Wilmot on the Hydropage web forum:
Although his injuries are not life threatening, Paul is recovering tonight from a broken ankle and minor spinal trauma from his blowover in today's Silverdale race. The boat (UL-14) is cracked pretty badly and will take a lot of energy to repair. Please keep him and his team in your thoughts and prayers.
