If that's what trapezing does for you, I've got to send Contender443 out on the wire more often!

At last a fan! So can anyone think of a cunning plan to keep Contender443 occupied while BNS and I meet?

Get a cherub, trapezing is much better!! I got a dodgey knee, and after about an hr of racing hiking boats I cant walk, but back is ok.

After several windy hours in the cherub I can walk but back hurts a little! im 20!!

The pain caused by poor posture (bent knees/back) should stop now that you have stopped doing it...

what should on the B14 where the toe straps cant be at the same height as the edge you hike off (unless you sail with loads of windward heel)?
