The skipper Chris Hollis took the decision to divert to Kagoshima Wan (on the southern tip of Japan) and the Leg 6 crew member was medevaced off the yacht after going alongside a dock at 02:00 UTC. She was then taken to hospital in Kagoshima for assessment on her arm. The initial diagnosis was of a dislocated shoulder. 

Praxes, the Clipper Race’s medical partner, was contacted at the time of the incident.
