I've often toyed with the idea of getting some sort of heart rate monitor to see how much energy I'm really using sailing.. can't justify the cost though..
Anyone used one when sailing?
What sort of rates were you getting?
I suppose there are heaps of variables , wind strength , chop , whether you sail waves or flatwater ,how powered up you are , how fit , whether you've just seen a fin etc..
I'd be interested to get a few examples..
