[C38] Polars on the website

[Chuck Finn]

Larry,
It is probable you folks out thataway don't use the same vernacular.  
For us, heel is a measurement telling how far that pointy thingy 
sticking out of the top of your boat is tilting toward the water.  We 
have several ways of spelling it on my boat:

1.  Heel.  This is when the pointy thingy is straight up or a wee bit tilty.
2. Hell. Is what my wife calls it when the tilty thingy is about half 
way between straight up and the water.
3. Heal. Is what I do after my wife gets through with me if the tilty 
thingy goes much further.

I hope this helps!
