Description
IMPROVED HIKING PADS
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to sailing equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to improved hiking pads for sailors.
Background of the Invention Sailboats, particularly small craft without heavy keels, tend to lean or tip over in heavy winds, termed "heeling". To counteract this tipping action, the crew of small sailboats often lean in the opposite direction to balance the craft. This technique, colloquially known as "hiking", allows the boat to be sailed more aggressively, and is therefore a common technique used when racing sailboats. On particularly small craft, sailors braces their backsides/thighs against the boat's gunnel or gunwale when leaning out over the water.
Typical hiking pads are adapted to cushion the sailor's legs against the hard edge of the gunnel.
These pads fit inside a pair of specially designed shorts or wetsuit to position the pads in the correct location so that the pressure of the gunnel is distributed evenly across the sailor's backside/thighs. Foot rests or straps are often provided on the deck to secure the sailor's feet. A
rope or cable may be provided so that the sailor can hang on and support their upper body. In this way, the sailor can lean away from the boat to counteract the tipping forces of the sail and balance the heeling boat.
As one can readily appreciate, hiking is a physically tiring exercise that requires strength and endurance. Pressure points created by the gunnel and friction generated by the hiking pads can cause considerable discomfort to the sailor when hiking for long periods of time.
Known hiking pads are not custom fitted to a particular user, and often consist of multiple, articulating pieces of fibreglass. These pads are not customizable, and are not designed with the ergonomically-correct posture of the sailor in mind.
Accordingly, there is need for customizable and ergonomically designed hiking pads of unitary construction that contact the gunnel in a stable manner.
Brief Summary of the Invention In at least one embodiment, the present invention provides [insert independent claim]
Description of the Drawings Preferred embodiments will now be described in greater detail and will be better understood when read in conjunction with the following drawings.

Detailed Description of the Embodiments The present invention provides an improved hiking pad for cushioning the backside or thighs of a sailor against the gunnel of a sailboat when hiking. The improved pad is substantially stiff such that it maintains its shape when performing the intended duty of cushioning the sailor against the gunnel, however it is contemplated that the hiking pad can slightly flex about a longitudinal or lateral axis without departing from the scope of the present invention.
In at least one embodiment the hiking pad is generally rectangular in plan shape, although other plan shapes are contemplated including reniform, ovular, obround and circular among other shapes. The hiking pad can take any shape provided that it suitably receives the leg of a sailor in a comfortable manner without pressure points or sharp edges. It is contemplated that in at least one embodiment the hiking pad will have a rounded rectangular plan shape having straight longitudinal edges oriented perpendicularly to straight end edges joined by rounded corners, as will be discussed in further detail below.
The hiking pad of the present invention has a curved profile such that it can receive the leg of a sailor and cushion it against the gunnel when the sailor is hiking. As will be understood by the skilled person, in order to accommodate a human leg in a comfortable manner, the hiking pad is curved about a centrally located longitudinal axis of the hiking pad. In some embodiments the hiking pad will be symmetrically curved about a central longitudinal axis, and in other embodiments the hiking pad will be asymmetrically curved about a central longitudinal axis.
In at least one embodiment, the thickness of the hiking pad is variable such that one longitudinal side of the pad is thicker than the opposing longitudinal side of the pad, as will be discussed in further detail below. In at least one embodiment it is contemplated that the hiking pad can be customizably moldable to a particular user's leg, resulting in improved comfort and protection.
Suitable methods of molding could include heat molding or customized manufacture to a particular user's body, among other arrangements.
In at least one embodiment, the hiking pad is comprised of an outer shell and an inner liner. In such embodiments, the outer shell can be constructed of a wide variety of suitable materials, provided that the outer shell is sufficiently stiff such that the hiking pad maintains its shape while the sailor is hiking. Suitable materials include, but are not limited to, wood, plastic, metal, fibreglass and carbon fibre, among other materials that will be readily understood by the skilled person.
In some embodiments, the inner liner will be formed separately from the outer shell. In these embodiments, the inner liner will be formed of a material providing suitable cushioning to ensure the comfort of the sailor while hiking. Suitable materials for construction of the inner liner include, but are not limited to, cloth, open cell padding, closed cell padding, foam rubber, kevlar, neoprene and other types of padding, among other materials that will be readily understood by the skilled person.
As discussed above, it is contemplated that in at least one embodiment the outer shell and inner liner of the hiking pad are formed of single unitary construction, however it is also contemplated that the outer shell is formed of a single unitary piece that is suitably attached to an inner liner that is also formed of single unitary construction. Alternatively, both the outer shell and the inner liner may each be formed of multiple pieces suitably joined together.
It is contemplated that in at least one embodiment, the hiking pad is substantially torsionally stiff, such that it does not appreciably deform during use. The skilled person will recognize that some deformation of the hiking pad will be acceptable and still allow the hiking pad to perform its intended function.

It is contemplated that in at least one embodiment, the hiking pad is substantially torsionally stiff, such that it does not appreciably deform during use. The skilled person will recognize that some deformation of the hiking pad will be acceptable and still allow the hiking pad to perform its intended function.
In multi-component embodiments, the separate components may be joined together by any suitable means provided that the resultant hiking pad has the requisite stiffness and cushioning required by the intended application. Suitable means of joining components will include stitching, adhesive bonding, mechanical fastening (including riveting among other means of mechanical fastening) among other means of joining the separate components that will be readily understood by the skilled person.
The outer shell of the hiking pad further includes at least one groove that is adapted to cooperate with the gunnel of a sailboat so that the hiking pad can pivot about the gunnel while the gunnel stays loosely engaged with the groove. The groove can take a wide variety of cross sectional shapes provided that the groove can receive the gunnel in such a manner. It is contemplated that the outer shell may include a single groove, or alternatively, the outer shell may include a number of grooves so that the sailor can adjust the position of the hiking pad with respect to the gunnel and accordingly adjust the distance that the sailor can lean away from the sailboat, resulting in more effective hiking.
In at least one embodiment, the hiking pad of the present invention is designed to slide into pockets provided in specially designed shorts or wetsuits such that the a pad is firmly but comfortable positioned in the hamstring/buttock area of each leg. It is contemplated that a hiking pad is used for each of the sailor's legs. Accordingly, a left side hiking pad and a right side hiking pad may be provided that are each designed for the ergonomic differences between the user's right and left legs. A number of sizes of hiking pads may be manufactured to suit all shapes and sizes of sailors.
Other methods of attaching the hiking pads to the sailor's legs are contemplated, such as straps, adhesive strips, mechanical snaps, zippers, hook and loop fasteners among other suitable methods that will be readily understood by the skilled person.
In this way, a sailor can comfortably hike for long periods by resting their padded thighs/backsides against the gunnel of the sailboat when leaning their body over the side of the boat. The hiking pads of the present invention spread the pressure of the gunnel over the entire area of the pad, reducing pressure points and frictional irritation that would be otherwise debilitating over long periods. Further, the hiking pad of the present invention encourages proper technique as the at least one groove is provided in the outer shell of the hiking pad is adapted to cooperate with the gunnel creating a pivot point, which serves at least two purposes. The sailor will know that when the groove is engaged with the gunnel that the lateral position of the sailor's body is correct in relation to the gunnel, and further, the cooperation of the groove and gunnel will ensure that the sailor maintains this lateral position even when the gunnel is wet or the sailor is jostled in heavy winds or rough waters.
Turning to Figures 1 to 4, at least one embodiment of a hiking pad 10 in accordance with the present invention is illustrated. Hiking pad 10 includes a concave inner liner 12 suitably attached to an outer shell 14.
