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 |
