Only in moderation though. Most boats sail faster when the hull is
fairly flat.
And then to add to the general confusion on this point, we really
should include "loll", which is a specfic type of list caused by heavy
cargo stowed too high above the keel *or*
excessive water in the bilge. It may or may not be true that a can of
Dr. Pepper sloshing around to cool in the excess bilge water can be
called a "lolling pop".....
