I cannot say anything against the great way Vaughn hikes and helms the laser in hard winds, however I do not agree in the principles mentioned in the article to which this video is attached. Watching that same video I would say this:
1) The booat is not flat
2) Due to this, the rudder also works as a wing, elevating the bow when heading and turning it down when bearing away.
3) Also, body movement helps to keep the boat stuck to the water, refraining it from "jumping" same as what is sought by a snow skier.
Due to the flotability of the boat, the hard downward moving of the body weight while hiking will cause the boat to follow the wave sticked to the water and to bounce once it reaches its lowest position on the water. This bouncing, helped by the upward movement of the body and the elevation of the boy by heading the rudder will lighten the boat wave, helping to smoothly pass the next wave.
4) The torque movement compensates the rudder by placing more pressure on the back while the rudder places more pressure on the bow, therefore equilibrating the downward forces.
Of course I can be mistaken but it is what makes more sense to me.
