As the one doing the "catrabatics" in Trey's picture, let me enlighten everyone. The reverse trapeeze maneuaver or "handstand" as some like to call it, which is expertly demonstrated in the picture, is a new tactic for increasing the leverage of the crew on the wire to counter the heeling of the boat. By placing ones hands on the hull instead of the feet, one shifts one's center of gravity outward thereby incrasing the force they are able to apply.

Granted it takes some practice. But the sooner everyone realizes how effective it is, the sooner we can all look forward to the problem of sheeting in with our teeth and steering with our toes.

See you all at Outback
