Knee friendly Single Handers?

   According to Steve Cockerill, my physio and my knees, the Laser.
Yep, seriously - straight leg hiking creates a more even strain on the thigh muscles and that keeps the patella centred, whereas bent-leg hiking encourages the outer quad to develop more than the inner quad, which pulls the patella across and turns sailors into cripples.

I have to keep straight legs, cycling or sailing, or my knees are cactus.
