One issue to keep in mind is that more heel = more weather helm. If
you're dragging your rudder sideways, you ain't going fast!


However, there is a sweet spot where the boat will gain WL, have good

VMG
and
not increase wetted surface.
The rest is gobbily gook and pretty obvious. Clearly a vessel heeled to

far
won't make much VMG and have a flawed track.


Well, smack me about the head with a pair of old mackerel!!!
Bob is trying to take part in a sailing discussion, ... *again*!!!!!
