Need to change your helming style too - so you pull with the strong muscles of the shoulder - arms in a diamond in front of you.

Fizzicist, I believe you sail a 300 which I found very hard on the knees- (not hiking, but grovelling around downwind). That seems to be one of the main resons people give for giving them up. Personally I found trapezeing worse, 'cos of the constant bend/straighten as you move in and out. You might find a boat with side decks to sit on better? (Part of the reason for my Solo) Re the tennis elbow, I got it from windsurfing, but a mad German acupuncturist massaged it and used hot/cold compresses every day for a week, and it went and never returned! My mother had the same problem, and similar treatment, with the same result. My sister keeps having cortisone injections, and hers just comes back. |

Rob.e - yeah I have a 300, and I think it's probably the grovelling around that does it knee wise. But the concept of a Solo after a 300 isn't exactly appealing! |

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. |

Re: Tennis elbow for it to heal you need to have more healing than damage! So you either prevent further damage (strap) or premote healing (by encouraging blood flow) or if you can afford the time/money both! Re: Cortisone injections I would really not like to get into this discussion, apart from the say in most circumstances I am very much against them.

I found with my knees (which used to be very painful and stiff after a day sailing) that regular sessions on a rowing machine together with a class where hiking is easier has cured my problem.
As for the groveling around just make sure you have plenty of padding on your knees, that makes a huge difference. |

The worst sailing injury I have seen was a few years ago on a windy day at Salcombe when Rob Heath sailing with his daughter had a messy windward capsize in which she planted her foot hard on his eye falling off the side deck. He came ashore with a black eye and all was well till he blew his nose and suddenly got double vision from his blowout fracture of the floor of his orbit. Fortunately all healed without incident. Cortisone injections for tennis elbow are a quick and dirty fix but they do the business and I do them regularly (I'm a GP) but there is always an underlying problem that needs addressing |
