If I'm sailing north, and the wind is from the starboard, then I'm leaning
left.

Sailboats heel, motorboats list.

Actually, that's still not 100% correct. As I understand it,
"heeling" is what any boat does when it leans from wind
pressure or some other temporary force. 'Listing' is leaning
to one side due to uneven loading, flooding, or perhaps a
big dent in the hull.
