worst i had was loch ness monster race , after trapezing full length of loch ness in full on 5 to 6 , came back in for fly back down , both legs went into spasm calfs and thighs , agony for next 25 miles down hill in very fruity conditions , only relief was when capsizing near end though cramp , fatigue caused by it and impaired mobility were causes of capsizes , all within 2 miles of finish !!!!!


i would be very intrested in a cure .

It's got to be worth a go.  Stick the banana and some ice in a blender and add the tonic water.  For a bit of class you could even add a sparkler and a little pink umbrella.
What could possibly go wrong?

Used to get chronic post-hiking cramp in legs, though never whilst sailing.

My preventative cure is a) drink lots of water,  b) eat lots of salted peanuts soon after sailing.  Seems to work
