I just wondered if anyone had done any comparisons:

In light air, when there's not enough wind to hike out, would it be better to sit on the leeward hull (or even hike to leeward) to raise the windward hull? Does getting one hull out or on plane cause less drag than the extra drag of the leeward hull digging in more?

I ask because I see Y-Flyer and Scow sailors often sitting on the leeward side to force the boat up on edge, when there's not enough wind to make it heel on its own. And unfortunately, light air is more common here, especially in warmer weather.

Any thoughts?
