Maybe trapezing would save your knees.
I still think there's a market for a single-hander with trapeze for lightweights.

Just saw an article on how well the Streaker class has been doin. Stick a trapeze on one of those and maybe youlle have it

Yeah trapeazing is a lot of fun. I got to have a go in a vago today. We it was a great sail. I love them - got teabaged by my helm though!!!  He's a good guy and looked after me, being a cos i difficulty geting the harness to get tight enough!!!! It was a little bit too lose cos my back aches a little. Vagos are great boats.

The most wonderful lightweights trapeze boat in the world is a Kiwi Class called a Farr 3.7. Its basically a 1970 vintage Cherub with a single 8.8m2 sail.
