Hals :
- The movement of the vessel relative to the wind . Distinguish between left ( wind blowing in the left side ; English portside ) and right (wind blowing in the right side; English starboard ) tacks. In case of divergence of the sailing vessels in the situation of crossing the courses in order to avoid a collision, the vessel sailing with the left tack must give way to the ship sailing with the right tack.
- A segment of the path that a sailing vessel passes from one turn to another when tacking [1] .
If the ship goes sailing and the wind blows to its starboard side, then they say that the ship goes with the right tack. To go with one tack or lie on one tack - this is what they say when several ships go all with either right or left tack. Go counter-tacks - it is a question of ships going towards each other with different tacks. To lie on another tack means to turn the ship so that the wind blows, for example, to the starboard side, after turning it blows to the left. Make a tack - to pass any distance with one tack, that is, without turning to another tack [2] .
- A rope holding the lower windward angle of a sail in place [3]
