I've just returned from a two hour stint in A&E to have my elbow X rayed following a slight misadventure involving 35knots of wind and a dead run in an RS300. Turns out I've not chipped the bone (thankfully) but they've told me I have tennis elbow. Anyone else been afflicted with this due to sailing? Or any other interesting ailments. I'm getting concerned about the state of my knees from too much hiking as well - is this easily resolved through getting a trapeze boat? |

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. |

I have had to have head x-rays following an 'interesting' gybe when I got hit on the back of the head by the boom. That was not too bad, it was the fact that it then drove my forehead into one of the deck fittings and I ended up with blood pouring down my face. BTW the x-rays were inconclusive for brain presence! |

That's what i was wondering.........i've wrecked my knees from sailing
and they burn and ache after every sail i have. And i've had the
tennis elbow thing. From my experience and other people i've
spoken to it never really goes away completely and once you've got it
it will keep coming back. But it will get better from time to
time - when i get it i just take it easy at the gym and stuff and
wouldn't lift the same kind of weights that i would normally. But
its not the end of the world and wont really affect you're sailing.

My elbow currently resembles a cricket ball though - I suspect that the tennis ebow is probably just a bruise. Knee-wise, after a particularly arduous race, my knees are sore and if I bend down to release the pressure, they sometimes lock completely and it's really hard to stand up straight - feels like they're going to explode. :( I really love the 300 but it seems to be trying to hurt me at the moment. |

Besides, your dad could have been driving to his local water activities centre. Then again, he could be one of the ever-growing tribe of neoprene-clad weekenders, who love to play doctors and nurses in their spare time! |

Mine are stuffed from Skiing over the last 25 years (and crashing too much) and they hurt like hell in the winter. Not hiked out for years, but after a long race (like say the East coast piers race) I can only just about walk! |

Does a trapzing boat help your knees or doesn't it? |
