each Finn should come with an electric trolley (waterproof of course) to get the thing up the slip

Everything I say is my opinion, honest

The problem i always envisaged with the Finn is that is has to be good for your knees when sailing as you need them working perfectly for when you have to pull it back up the slipway

Haha - I can't help having these stumpy, sawn-off legs.

If your bum is on that cushion, I think I know why your knees are fine. I'm guessing the toestraps don't have enough adjustment for you to actually get your arse over the gunwhale ;-) |

Another vote for the D-One
 . Thinking about it, the Finn hasn't caused any knee irritation at all yet either - comfy on the bum with that cushion, and super-thick, hyper-adjustable toe-straps help. 'Kin hard on the quads, mind

Solo for knee friendliness IMO. Laser - never as soon as your quads and core tire (which they do quickly unless you are superfit) all the pressure goes to your knees.
The D-Zero is seriously comfy but crouching is sometimes required when deep off the wind or running. Not as bad as kneeling but still not the armchair levels of comfort that some might want.

Nice thing about Byte (I would say this wouldn't I). Quite narrow so when sitting on side decks you just lean in. No kneeling. In lightning kneeling all the time.
