What are the restrictions on the position of the torso with respect to the sheer line on boats such as Etchells, Dragon, and other one-design keelboats with no lifelines, and no other hiking aids?
Exactly that, class rules, but typically there aren't any restrictions on torso position per se, there's just 49.1 plus any restrictions in class rules. Some prohibit toe straps for instance.
