Don't try that with just any crew.

Every Sunfish sailor can do the same, single handed.
Pfff!

Pretty cool! I've always wondered if it could be done but I never tried it.

I've seen this done in the San Juan Islands.....boat pointed north but moving south....of course there it's due to a southbound 10+ knot tidal current!

It's pretty much a required skill for dinghy sailors.  Boat control is key, forward, aft, holding one position.  Not hard to learn.  It just takes patience.
