now i can do a few sketchy freestyle moves on my board just wondering what people have on a dinghy.

we all know the handstand but it just doesnt look that cool

i used to get my crew to stand on my shoulders, or the backflip of the wire.

anyone got any good ideas

Do rack dismounts during a capsize count? Because i reckon theres lots of moves for that. My favourite dismount would be the flying squirrel.

Trapeze off the transom so it stands up on it's back end then falls over sideways, always cool.

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!

The b14's petty good at doing a tailstand, though it tends to end on its side. Bonus marks for keeping the kite trimmed.

A Classic

You can see by the tenth shot that Tony and Char have positioned themselves well to lever the rotation to near vertical, however they lose marks as the kite is flapping, and they never quite achieve the straight-up position.

It seemed to me that ought to be the way to get a Laser Vortex to go on a dead run in light airs, but you're right, it is very difficult!
