SAN DIEGO — Hans Henken's sailing career is back at full throttle not quite 14 months after he was knocked unconscious and severely injured when the high-speed catamaran he was controlling in a SailGP race crashed off its foils and nosedived into the Mediterranean waves. The Olympic medalist is back as flight controller for the United States SailGP Team, which announced its lineup for Season 5 of the global league which starts this weekend in Dubai.
