Supposed to stand up or sit apparently - though I note the Swift Solo lot say knee pads are mandatory.

Knee pads are compulsory on a Contender too. You hardly spend any time sitting down, even in light winds. And I'd like to see someone getting under the boom without kneeling down... Even Soren can't do that!

I once read somewhere at sometime that the very best knee pads are volleyball knee pads

I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Th Gul ones are good - but I agree a bit uncomfortable - though they do wear in eventually.

Otherwise I'd recommned the Lomo wetsuit range - some serious built in kneepads.

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else
