AFFAIRS OF THE HART | KNEE-MONIA A painful joint doesn’t necessarily spell the end… I woke up to see an earnest young doctor standing over me. We were in the recovery room of Queen Alexander hospital Portsmouth. It was 1992 and I had just had the first of many surgeries on my troublesome right knee. Expecting him to pat me on the back and tell me I was as good as new, I asked him how the operation had gone. With no concern for my fragile mental state, he said: “You’re the windsurfer aren’t you? Well you must think very hard about what you’re going to do with the rest of your life. You bas ..read more

AFFAIRS OF THE HART | IN DEFENCE OF A SMALL INDUSTRY Harty poses the question of how, in a modern world, does windsurfing stack up against other industries? You absolutely can’t stand your little brother, who since he was 2 years old has found ways to push your buttons relentlessly. Then one day you hear someone you don’t know, speaking ill of him. How dare they? The demon rises within you and with a mild threat of violence you find yourself defending the virtue of this person you’d travel to Timbuktu to avoid at the Christmas table. So strong is the family bond that to trash one of us is to t ..read more
