Actually in sailing it is a term used by sailors to discribe the action
of the rotation of the hull of a boat; usually caused by the wind on
the sail that forces the lee side gunnel down toward the water surface.

When a hull is flying, the vessel becomes a counterbalanced monohull and the
term "heeling" continues to be correct. The degree of heel is what lifts the
hull clear.
Word game or not, Gayanzy was not correct in his statement. You infer that this
discussion degenerated, but I made a valid supported point and it was Gayanzy
who degenerated. Examine the entire thread.
