Heeled only means tilted and would include listing. The catamaran _is_
heeled -it may even lift a hull out if heeled far enough! Live with it
-he's right (or look it up yourself in the OED).
I know that the dictionary says that it is heeled when it is sailing on
one
hull. However, I dispute the fact that a real sailor would ever use the
term "heeled" to describe the excitement that accompanies the act of
sailing
a Hobie 15 on a single hull.
"Heeled" is dull. "A hull" is exciting! They are two completely
different things - to any sailor who has actually experienced them.
