Basic Sailing Terms for the Weak Minded
Hobie made a 15?
"Donal" wrote in message ... "Nav" wrote in message ... Heeled only means tilted and would include listing. The catamaran _is_ heeled -it may even lift a hull out if heeled far enough! Live with it -he's right (or look it up yourself in the OED). I know that the dictionary says that it is heeled when it is sailing on one hull. However, I dispute the fact that a real sailor would ever use the term "heeled" to describe the excitement that accompanies the act of sailing a Hobie 15 on a single hull. "Heeled" is dull. "A hull" is exciting! They are two completely different things - to any sailor who has actually experienced them. Regards Donal -- |
