No, but I'm hopeful that it won't be too long. I got a note from Ken
Winner and he, with a radar gun at Lyle, says "control is FAST". This
agrees with why I can go so fast in gusts OFF THE WIND at the Gorge
with a "slow" fin. Going upwind is another matter and efficiency AND
control matter.
Sorry to hear about your foot. I broke my leg 2 yrs ago @ 3rd, got 3 screws
in my leg, and was back sailing good as new in about 10-12 weeks.
