Now that's hiking!

This photo appeared in a recent email ad from North Sails, who builds sails for the lovely, historic J-Class megayachts.  Seems to me that the draft in the mainsail may be a little too far aft.  Could it be because the boat is heeled a tad too much on account of not enough crew - only 29 - on the high side rail hiking?!  ;)

    If you click the image and check out the high-res version, you can count 29 people on the rail hiking! But it looks like there are 4 more aft who don't have their legs swung over the side. Maybe that's the problem - not everyone hiking hard enough! (insert tongue in cheek) I'm just glad I don't have to budget for buying sails that big! Yikes.
