	it hurts afterwards, but not when im hiking. and i dont see how hikers would help because its not as if the side deck digs into you thigh

	The hiking pants means your thigh muscles don't compress over the gunwale, so you actually lift an inch or so. If you are sailing the boat in rough water at the correct angle of heel, that inch is important. It also improves blood flow. If I remember rightly, both these points were made during the research that earned the current World champ his PhD in Sports Science. People who don't have to work hard to stop their bum dragging are normally sailing with too much heel.
