Freestyle sailing moves

if you roll on to your back you will skim back up to the boat, I saw someone else do it and they almost got back in without capsizing. whilst belly dragging you can keep the boat upright by surfing left or right to balance the rig. just needs some practice on the transition from being dragged to getting back on board.

'death roll recovery'

sailing downwind in a gusty windy f5-6 in a laser, stick it in the piss so the mast hits the water. Sheet the main on like a mother just as a gust hits and flip the boat back up right, carry on sailing.

Only every done it twice, but once was leading an OM race right in front of the clubhouse, surprised myself so much I nearly stuck it in again...

Mark bouncing. 

Fly a hull close to a mark, at the right time, crew unhocks and lands on top of said mark.  Extra points for staying put - soft marks only!

Crew flying.

Sail two largish cats close together.  Crew of leeward boat graps trap handle of windward boat.  Crew of LW then hooks onto this trap too.  Boats sail slightly apart (be V careful), crew of leeward boat fly's! Much care must be taken by both to ensure WW does not capsize onto LW, and LW does not roll into windward and hit WW.

Water Skiing / Wake boarding

Attach water Ski line to rear beam just before it is attached to hulls.  Water Ski behind.  Dagger board may be used if not other board available.

Nose stands

Sail along and drive the nose under.  Skill factor points for how long rudders are out of the water / distance travelled / depth of bow under water.

Whirlies

1, Sailing in strong wind, bows go under
2, crew goes around the fore stay
3, steps onto leeward bow/midships
4, unhooks
5, Returns to windward side and hooks back on

Note, steps 1 and 2 usually happen by accident

Steps 3 -5 usually do not happen

Tail stands

Trapeze from back beam, Highest bow wins

Leeward hull flying

Both out on wire in no wind, very difficult!
