RedactedNarrative: Watercraft operator and owner were on the sailboat during a race in East Upper Lake on Lake Minnetonka. A gust of wind caused the boom of the sailboat to change direction quickly and struck the owner on the head above the right eye. The blow from the boom knocked her into the water and the operator was able to get her back in the boat. A man in another boat saw the incident happen and came over and had the injured owner get in his boat to be transported to Water Patrol Headquarters. She had a shirt pressed to her head and told deputies that she never lost consciousness. An ice pack was applied until paramedics arrived and transported her to the hospital for stitches and evaluation. Life jackets were being worn and alcohol was not a factor.
