Not if you take the bar off and turn it through 180 degrees and reattach it!
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

And the hook points upwards on a windsurf trapeze harness, which could have hilarious consequences for the rescue boat's point of view.

In the long run, your back will hate you

 

Windsurfer Trapeze Harnesses are for 'Vertical' Trapezing

Sailing Trapeze Harnesses are for 'Horizontal' Trapezing

 

Its all a matter of support

I had a crew who used to swear by it....but i suppose it's a comfort thing.  To begin with it's fine but I have a hunch as you trapeze for longer you will start to wish you had a bit more support.

But in answer to your question there's nothing too bad about it whilst you get the hang of things.

Its sort of a beginner's question: is it ok using a windsurfing harness on the trapeze? (Laser II).    Seems to work ok, but we are very new to trapezing.
