Quote:
As stated, it's in turns at high speed that things can get squirrely rapidly. As you take a sharp turn the boat will lean in the direction you're turning. As it does so it lifts the other side of the hull up out of the water, so the lifting strakes that were giving you planing and control on the side opposite the turn will give less. At the same time the side leaning into the turn will slide sideways (centrifugal force) through the water because of less hull in the water. It's just something to be aware of at speed. Hit a big roller wave while that's going on and it can mean trouble in seconds.
