we sail with the lee bow down so its barely out of the water. in light air my crew sits on the lee hull ahead of the pylon. my friend al has his crew trapped out to leeward and as far forward as possible. in heavier air we keep our weight as far forward as possible without driving the lee hull under.the flat side of the lee hull contributes to lateral resistance so you want as much of it in the water as possible. also reduces resistance of the windward hull which is barely in the water. h16s can point surprisingly high, i was able to pinch off a couple of mc scows yesterday on a beat, tho i normally would have footed to go faster- except there was a dock to leeward.
