Heel
To tip or lean to one side.
The Heel of the Boat (the extent to which it tips or leans sideways) is often the result of the force of wind on the sails. Most of this wind is transferred into forward movement, any excess is transferred as sideways movement, some of which leads to heeling.
The transference of weight on the Boat can also cause heeling, which can be used as an advantage when racing. However it is a delicate balance as a Boat that heels too much will sail less efficiently.
