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.

When a hull is flying, the vessel becomes a counterbalanced monohull and
the
term "heeling" continues to be correct. The degree of heel is what lifts
the
hull clear.

Bob, give it up!

I've sailed a Hobie 15 for about a mile on one hull. I never thought of it
as "heeled".

"Heeled" refers to the stable condition of a monohull in a stiff breeze.

I would never describe travelling at 30kts+ - on a Hobie 15, on one hull, as
"heeled".

Word game or not, Gayanzy was not correct in his statement. You infer that
this
discussion degenerated, but I made a valid supported point and it was
Gayanzy
who degenerated. Examine the entire thread.

I can't be bothered. You're talking nonsense, as usual!
