Trapezing illegal?

   Just seen this in the new racing rules book - 

Rule 49.1: Competitors shall use no device designed to position their bodies 

outboard, other than hiking straps and stiffeners worn under the thighs.

So that would make trapezing illegal??

	Its not a new rule... and yes, it makes trapezing illegal - unless the class rules permit it. Its one of the rules that the class rules are allowed to over ride.
