It's time I patented and released my hiking harness.
Can we assume you refer to your 'special interest' Lederhosen harness ? Not sure you will get any patent awarded of course .... |

Could use a bit of both techniques on long beats, that way you use different muscle groups, and can hang on longer. Steve's pointy toes technique is good for applying the pressure to those around you ... out of the start and tight reaches.

Including Steve dropping his trousers... In short: keep your legs straight, otherwise you will end up with knee pain, and you won't hike as efficiently.

Simple, they both should be outlawed, they not only look ridiculous, they cause pain and discomfort that is unlike proper manpain you get doing mansports.

Paul Elvstrom developed the 'drop hiking' technique in the '60s. I used it throughout the '70s in a Heron and OK. Later on I had a Laser and was forced into the straight leg technique by the rubbish ergonomics of the boat. Now I have the Blaze I can use a modified 'drop hiking' technique and find it much more comfortable than straight legs. What are the pros & cons of the two techniques?
