(purje kohta:) puri on pakkis, kui see asub paadi tuulepealsel poolel ning tuulekott moodustub purjest kere poole
with sails set on the weather side so that they slow the ship, a situation usually caused by inattentive helmsmanship. On occasion a sail is set aback on purpose to manoeuvre the ship.
Hea teada
Tulemusena paat aeglustub. Pakkis puri on tavaliselt põhjustatud hooletust roolimisest. Purje pakkimist võidakse kasutada ka taotluslikult manööverduseesmärkidel.
Hea teada
Ashore, the term "taken aback" means surprised by a sudden change of circumstances.
