Default Basic Sailing Terms for the Weak Minded

No. You're a LIAR AND A THIEF. YOU WIN!

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.
