Sailboats heel, motorboats list. Actually, that's still not 100% correct. As I understand it, "heeling" is what any boat does when it leans from wind pressure or some other temporary force. 'Listing' is leaning to one side due to uneven loading, flooding, or perhaps a big dent in the hull. DSK list3 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lst) n. An inclination to one side, as of a ship; a tilt. You're correct, sort of. A boat can (and most do) "list" to one side or another at least slightly even when not underway. Heeling is a description of an attitude frequently adopted by a sailboat during certain points of sail. If a sailboat is listing in its slip, it isn't heeling. From "The Sailor's Illustrated Dictiionary" by Lenfesty and Lenfesty (highly recommended, by the way) Heel: 1) the base of a mast. 2) the after end of the keel. If a ship turns on its heel it has a very short turning radius. 3) The convex section or elbow of a bar. 4) The inboard end of a bowsprit, and now the relevant definition: 5) A temporary transverse angle of inclination of a vessel to one side or the other such as during a roll or caused by the wind. If the inclination is caused by an internal force, the vessel is said to list. Seems like the key factors a internal vs. external force, temporary or prevailing condition. For "list" the noun: A transverse angle of inclination caused by internal forces the verb: Said of a vessel when it leans to one side due to internal forces such as water or cargo being out of balance. This is not the same as heeling, which is leaning caused by extermal pressure such as wind or grounding. Seems like any boat could technically heel, (especially when aground) but it is only considered desirable when under sail. |

Most boats sail faster when the hull is fairly flat. And then to add to the general confusion on this point, we really should include "loll", which is a specfic type of list caused by heavy cargo stowed too high above the keel *or* excessive water in the bilge. It may or may not be true that a can of Dr. Pepper sloshing around to cool in the excess bilge water can be called a "lolling pop"..... |
