title: [Traumatology of sailing injuries].
abstract: In a period of 3 years 68 injuries during sailing have been registered. The hand (32.3 p.c.) and the head (17.6 p.c.) are most frequently damaged. Bleeding wounds (26.4 p.c.), contusions (22.0 p.c.) and fractures (17.6 p.c.) are very common lesions. The injuries are mainly caused by the dolorous contact with the boom, by stumbling on board a ship and by jumping on the landing-stage. An effective prevention is discussed.
