Leg conditioning is always a help but if you do not have time to do additonal fitness just learn to recognise the signs of fatigue in the legs.
A good pair of hikers will help reduce fatigue as will getting the toe straps set up correctly (I moved mine all the time in the Blaze and never really got it quite how I wanted it). There is a 3rd option.....possibly the most comfy hiking single hander at the moment..... ;-)

NOt sure there is any way to particularly protect your knees. I guess after a break it may be worth conditioning your legs for hiking. So maybe investing in a hiking bench and work on some hiking exercises. If you build up strength in the muscles that will help protect the joint.

Ok so i know I should straight leg hike etc etc
But after a couple of years away form dinghys i'm thinking of getting back into one and i am worried about hurting my knees, over extending the joint or what ever it is that we do through poor technique. Any one any good advise on how I can protect them? Ian
