Rolling the boat through a tack does not make you gain speed, it helps you sustain the speed you had prior to a tack.
No, behind the mainsheet and end of boom, standing up
straddling the tiller.
Seemed impossible at the time - might try it again now in light
air.

Back in the day I was taught "aussie roll tack" where one would
walk around the back of mainsheet during tack, thus, spinning
boat on transom (no roll during tack).
I have observed this is how Olympic windsurfers round marks.
This may be what Glen is referring to.
