#FranckCammas - French America's Cup skipper Franck Cammas could be returning to the water as soon as next month after nearing losing his foot in a boating accident late last year.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, Team France's top man had his right foot "partially severed" when he was run over by the rudder of his foiling catamaran during training in Brittany in late November.
However, after successful surgery Cammas was assured he would not lose the use of his foot as the arteries and nerves were unaffected.
And according to Bermuda's Royal Gazette, the Solitaire veteran and Volvo Ocean Race winner is making significant progress in rehab for his injury.
“Now I can spend more time onshore working with the designers and engineers on the new boat,” he said after having his cast removed last week.
It's thought that Cammas could be back on board in time for the resumption of the America's Cup World Series in Oman on 27-28 February.
