Folks,
A couple of my friends have had similar inflections (sore elbows).
They found that much of the cause was from sailing with your arms
bent thereby putting ligaments/tendons/muscles under constant strain.
Adjusting your harness lines/sailing stance so that your arms are
straight most of the time really helps. With your arms straight
you are hanging bone-to-bone and the stress is greatly reduced.
Certainly makes sense from a bio-mechanical prespective.
Give it a try, much better than abstinence.
Cheers,
Alan
