I think the boat in the pic is a Europe, I remember seeing pictures of Stars at the olympics with crews hiking like that.  Looks a bit funny now but i guess it come down to doing the best you can with the limitations there are.

Funny you should say that, but leafing through an old
sailing book (1950's ish), I saw pictures of various
'cutting edge' designs of the time, including one
class with a 'no hiking' rule. Apparently, through
some loop hole in the rules, hanging off the side
from one leg and arm seemed to be legal, and this
is precisely how the crew spent (many long and
happy) beats to the windward mark. They looked very
much like the chap above, (just not capsized).

All very well supporting the old boats, but I think I
prefer a trapeze thanks.
