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

a
tilt

Hey Nutsy,

If you think you are being Salty about terms, Let's talk "Salty"

Every boat has an "Optimiun Heel angle" A good sailor knows what that
is; If the Sails are Trim TO RELEASES POWER then it's time to SET NEW
SAILS and come up with a NEW ANGLE!
IT'S TIME TO STRAIGHTEN UP AND SAIL RIGHT!

Take that you Lubber

Sorry Nutsy,

That should have been a "NEW SLANT" rather than a new angle

I'll get the salt shaker out and re-season my Old Bones

SAILS POWERED UP: All sails that are set trimmed for their maximum
effiency

Cut of their jib: The French and Spaniard sailing ships, in the days of
the square rigs, would cut their jibs rather thin to keep from being
blown off course in the stormy Bay of Biscay,
