Doesn't work for me, there are lots of monohull keelboats that are
capable of planing under certain conditions.  I used to race on a B-29
that was right on the cusp of almost being a s****t boat but it really
wasn't.  Downwind with 20+ kts it was one exciting ride however, and
we once planed at 17 to 18 kts for over 2 miles.  The B-29 carried a
conventional spin****r pole which enabled it to go lower on a
spin****r run than a true s****t boat, but also at lower speed.
