Don't know about planing, but I was chasing Bill and Doug Kelch out of the Great Wicomico River one day in a fresh breeze and had no chance of catching either one of them. They were close hauled and really hauling! From the widening viewpoint I had, it looked like a couple of flying fish taking off. Howard M17, #278 Audasea On Feb 23, 2007, at 1:57 PM, William B.
