Fair enough...I didn't think we were discussing multi-hulls.

I remember the name of the book I referenced concerning lee-boards:

"Down Tops'l: The Story of the East Coast Sailing-Barges", by Hervey Benham

http://www.amazon.com/Topsl-Story-Co.../dp/B0000CHU3B

It's an older book, but charts the very useful role of lee-boards in some surprisingly large sailing barges. An interesting read.
