Another question that comes to mind as I consider returning to dinghy's, and more specifically a Blaze is the question of knee pads.

We all know you should try and keep on your feet but those that have sailed a Blaze will know that in a Blaze, that's not always that easy so what are the best knee pads on the market at the moment?

Cheers

I use decathlon volley ball knee pads, same as sailing stuff but way cheaper

I use these - http://www.crewsaver.com/Leisure/p/4791/deep-knee-pad" rel="nofollow - http://www.crewsaver.com/Leisure/p/4791/deep-knee-pad

Seem to have a good compromise of protection, staying in place during capsizes & not cutting off blood supply to lower legs! And at under £20 not hugely expensive.

those Spinlock ones always cracked me up... "massive Halo style dinghy armour"... surprised GRF hasn't started flogging something similar online with all his anti-BA/pro-windsurfing ranting
