One question about the rules regarding propulsion: If you want to slow down, is it legal to put your foot over the side and drag it in the water ? I had always assumed it was not legal, but then I thought that it is legal to get out and stand on the bottom holding the boat (effectively anchoring), so maybe dragging your foot is legal.
(I assume "anchoring" is legal as we occasionally did it in larger boats - light wings sailing into a tide that was too strong and it was definitely legal then).
This is an academic question, not related to any protests, I have not seen anybody doing it and have not done it myself. I appreciate there are often better/other ways to slow down.
