Aback, английский
- A sail sheeted so that the wind fills the "back" of the sail.
- Задувание ветра в парус, обстенивание паруса
- The situation of a ship`s sails when the wind bears against their front surfaces. they are laid aback, when this is purposely effected to deaden her way by rounding in the weather-braces; and taken aback, when brought to by an unexpected change of wind, or by inattention in the helmsman.—all aback forward, the notice given from the forecastle, when the head-sails are pressed aback by a sudden change in the wind. (see work aback.)—taken aback, a colloquialism for being suddenly surprised or found out.
- [1] when, instead of a following wind blowing into square sails, a headwind presses them against the mast they are said to be aback. [2] when a ship suddenly stops due to the foregoing, it is said to be taken aback. [3] the triangular marconi (bermudian) rig doesn’t press on the mast, but can still be taken aback when tacking.
