No. It's not dumbass. Heeling is leaning. Flying a hull is flying a hull.
The hull that
remains in the water is heeling. The boat is flying a hull.

During normal sailing conditions, most cats heel up to about 5 deg.,
some a bit more, some less, depending on the conditions and the boat.
On the other hand, when things get out of control, as in the case of a
cruising cat, one hull lifts off the water, thus "flying."

Duh! It's still heeling, dumbass!

Bwahahahahaha!
