With enough wind the boat will heel a little bit, but it should never lift a hull. She weighs about 14 tons and if we did experience enough wind pressure to lift a hull, I expect (and hope) that the mast would break first. I have no interest in pushing Take Two that hard. Interestingly, the boat is on her second mast. I haven't yet determined what happend to the first one.
