Nutsy,

I really am not happy getting into this discussion but I'd like to
remind the "heelers" that you can heel a boat to a capsize without
forward motion.

A well trimmed boat will be the boat with max forward motion with min
amount of heel! ALWAYS!!

Heeling is a necessary evil to sail power and should be kept to a
minimum. If your boat is heeling 30 Deg or more, it means you are
shortening your affective sail plan height, your sail plan is getting
outside of your hull plan ( Causing weather helm).

This heeling maybe increasing water line lenght but at the same time it
is decreasing sail height, decreasing keel depth. decreasing rudder
depth. Probably increasing leeway

Try keeping the sail above the boat and not to the side and you'll sail
fast and better

Get the boat back on her feet. Nothing good happens bent over!!

"I'LL DRINK TO THAT!"
