Class association wouldn't allow loose footed sails.

Have a look at this video and what's going on with the sail foot.. Looks like some deliberately baggy addition at the foot to get the same effect..

Is it an optical illusion, or is that the most flexible tiller extension ever?

I can't quite make it out. It looks like a lens foot - the bottom panel is a lighter weight material, but if it's fixed to the boom, it only is in the middle or possibly the back half (and the ends, of course!). It does look like an attempt at a loose footed main, while nodding at the class rules

What sometimes happened with lens foot on my Ent' it would fill up with water, then sail would fill and chuck it all over you.

If the bend is real and not a distortion caused by editing, only thing I can think of that wobbles like that is a tight rope walkers pole, but that would suggest weight.
