I find that using pads makes my duff knee worse, I assume by pushing the kneecap against what's left of the joint. Any suggestions for a more comfortable brace to wear inside a drysuit?

Very true . I always found my mine very kind to my knees. But it’s worth barring in mind, that the newest version ( the mark 3) is less knee friendly . Edited by zeon - 23 Dec 19 at 5:01pm |

I don't think my mate's knee issues are kneeling related, as I said he doesn't race much, mostly it's just reaching up and down. He has a damaged anterior cruciate ligament rather than age related cartilage degeneration or damage so I'm assuming it affects him differently. I will discuss with him when we next meet but I now have some possible solutions to suggest. Thanks for the info and Merry Christmas.

Streaker is fine. As it has a proper thwart without a traveller in most cases.

Is the story that Jack designed the Streaker as he got to an age where pulling a Solo up the beach became a problem true?

Yeah, streaker might be a good choice for him, and there is one at the club that he could probably have a go in first. Budget won't be huge so Aero/D-Zero are probably non starters.

People keep pointing me at a Streaker.. Have been thinking of getting a full carbon one built with carbon everything, to hell with the class luddites, if Jack were around now and had access to all the stuff available these days, I'm sure he'd have gone with it. Built like my Farr37 it could be done sub 8 grand, be good for the lake. There are already some pretty damn quick versions from that Boatyard at Beer, only knaff things are the crap foils and of course the tin mast. But you can't tell them, like the bloody Contenderati they know what's best...

The Solution is however not a Solution I would suggest from recent observations

It’s a Solution looking for a problem. Lol I tested one last year with the thought to buy one . I came away very impressed but also very sure I wasn’t ever going to buy one . |
