Sailgroove Technique Tuesday


Nice pump, I wouldn't do that on a light wind day!!

I struggle to see how that technique is valid in any wind conditions.  To my mind it is not consistent with rule 42.1:

Except when permitted in rule 42.3 or 45, a boat shall compete by
using only the wind and water to increase, maintain or decrease her
speed. Her crew may adjust the trim of sails and hull, and perform
other acts of seamanship, but shall not otherwise move their bodies
to propel the boat.

The Higher & Faster "Startline" DVD shows a similar start technique with Lasers, can someone enlighten me as to how this is legal as it seems to be comon practice.
