Somewhere along the way, you can say you are "semi-planing" but few

sailors of planing boats bother to talk about it. Sailors of heavy
boats
that will not lift never notice the stern wave because their boats are
getting really squirrelly about that time.

Doug, I guess I have been semi-planing. Once last summer while under
spinnaker right before we put the pole in the water and my chute
trimmer's back got soaked. He was standing at the shrouds. We were a
little squirrelly.
