Nope - you want to get the windward hull just out of the water, which is what these guys are doing most of the time. You're right for dinghies with one hull - they should be sailed as flat as possible.

i feel like i should clear things up, by flying 1 hull out of the water firstly you reduce drag, secondly this creates lift allowing the boat to point much higher upwind, while doing this you need the rig to stay as effcient as possible basically as upright as possible. so we sail the boat with the windward hull just skimming, no drag, creates lift and the rig is not leaning over too far. believe me its much faster!

@c011in9s Thanks alot mate thats ideal ill do a bit more experimenting when i get back out on the water

In low winds I tend to sail with boards full down, for the lift, to lift the hull and reduce drag. When the wind gets up i lift them up progressivly more, especially if you are wanting to go downwind. With them down it just tends to trip the boat up and you get all lift and less speed. Just try lifting them, does make a massive difference.

Top vid guys awesome sailing. i sail a tiger out of cawsand bay about 1.5 hrs from falmouth its the most awesome boat i notice when you're sailing off the wind with the kite you have the daggerboards half out i used to do this but ive heard from different people about leaving them down to give the boat lift?could you shed any light on this? thanks keep up the good work

see i told you so

imbicile, the weight is being pushed onto the leeward hull anyway, and unless your sinking the leeward hull when flying the windward one,(which means you have a problem) its the water moving over and around the hulls that create drag, the pushing aside of water is what you are thinking of, whihc contributes, but on an 18ft where not mutch of the hull is underwater its not the ladder causing the most drag
