A sailor from Falmouth who survived a life-threatening brain injury is set to return to offshore racing.
British sailor Robin Elsey-Webb, who is taking on the 2025 RORC season championship, said he wanted people to know that there was "life after brain injury".
His injuries, as a result of the assault while abroad, included multiple severe skull fractures, bleeding on the brain and a broken neck.
He then underwent emergency neurosurgery and spent two weeks in intensive care and a further two weeks as an outpatient being monitored.
This year’s sailing campaign for Robin will see him alongside experienced offshore racer Stuart Sawyer, who has made the project possible by the use of his yacht.
Robin said he was hoping his return to racing would be able to share a message with others affected by brain injury.
