If it hurts its time to tack laser coach's eh? know nothing about sailing.
When they say you are too old you probably are, but do it anyway.

As my coach used to tell me... "If it hurts you aren't fit enough, if it doesn't hurt you haven't hiked hard enough" If you aren't hurting put some effort in! Thumbs Up

Interesting question. Maybe if you tried to replicate your position on a hiking bench it might be possible to take some measurements.

On a long beat I find I move my position slightly (without changing the strap set-up) to change pressure points on muscles and joints so I think there would be too many variables to measure. But that's probably down to lacking fitness...

Is there a way to 'measure' how well (or not) you have you straps set up for optimal posture and leverage when hiking... Without having a camera at the back of the boat or someone following in another boat with a camera? I think I hike ok and I don't get sore after sailing but am I kidding myself?
