Not true! A boat permanently at dock (like yours) would never make leeway.

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

A heeled rig may still be optimal. All boats make some leeway. The

original
point was about a heeled design going faster than design sailed flat. On

the
P30 we observed the highest speeds on a reach with a heel factor around

15.
