I think the whole thing is pretty complicated, there are some major 3d fluid dynamics occuring under the hull with the foils and stuff as well. It seems pretty obvious that heeling to windward works in some situations.
The bit in the rooster vid where Steve suggests the under water shape of the hull is like a wing neglects the fact that the footprint is pretty shallow so the biggest flow is under the hull rather than round it.
Any how, I'd like to see some investigation into it, but as the legendary Reeves and Mortimer said " I don't know how it works but it does"
