First, is it legal to have a double hiking strap, like on a star boat, in which the (star crew, but laser skipper) would put his/her feet inside, so they could turn and tack while always being engaged to a hiking strap. I tried it on my laser, and i found that i could tack and go right into a full hike withought even thinking of putting my feet under a strap. It allowed me to jump over to the other side in a full hike. Also, in roll tacks in light to medium air, it allowed me to do some quick flattening. Also, is it safe to always be hooked in, especialy if you capsize.
