Default Basic Sailing Terms for the Weak Minded

It appears that Scotty and Ganzy think that Catamarans with a hull in the air
aren't heeling, but a simple search reveals.....

Heel: The lean of the boat under sail

And more...

From Websters:
Heel: : a tilt (as of a boat) to one side; also : the extent of such a tilt

Wong again, Gayanzy!

LEAN:
1 a : to incline, deviate, or bend from a vertical position

And...TILT, according to websters:
1 : to become tipped : Topple
2 : LEAN

Bwahahahahaha! You'd think the poor fool would check before exposing himself,
but he likes beatings!

Wong? Are you from China?

Tip over = capsize

You're the one who's been exposed... yuck.

Tip over = capsize


A boat that has heeled by a single degree is also tipping over, but it has not
capsized.
You have no command of sailing terms or basic English.

Nutsy,

You've done it again, haven't you? You've turned a sail discussion into
a stupid word game!

Heel; a dog staying behind his master leg. Heel; the back portion of a
foot
Heel; a person of bad character

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.
The mast rotates from the vertical, reducing the effective height of the
sail during sailing.

The common method on a monohull to reduce this action is counter weight
on the keel, hull shape and ballast

This discussion was about efficency of the sailing vessel as the angle
of the mast changed

You screwed that line of discussion! I guess a Ganz says YOU WON AGAIN.

So What???

OT
