This is just poor technique and often called poo hiking.

Being new to sailing I've got plenty of questions, most of them stupid, so here's the first of today's.

Why do some people dangle their arse over and down the side or a dinghy (such as a laser), is there a performance gain to be had?

Apart from damage it does your knees surely it must make it more difficult to get back into the boat than if you had your weight the same distance from the center point but higher up?

Cheers,
Kev
