Lying ahull

In sailing, lying ahull is a controversial method of weathering a storm, executed by downing all sails, battening the hatches and locking the tiller to leeward so the boat tries to point to windward but this is balanced by the force of wind and waves. A sea anchor is not used, allowing the boat to drift freely, completely at the mercy of the storm. Ideally the boat should rest with the wind just forward of the beam so the boat is not broadside onto the waves. Modern boats with fin keels may have too much windage at the bows for this technique and come to rest broadside on or may not be stable at all. rdf:langString
Ahull är en hårdvindsteknik i storm då man inte ens kan ligga bi. Båten får driva utan något segel satt och utan drivankare. Tekniken är inte riskfri, och den är omstridd. I synnerhet om det är höga, brytande vågor utsätts båten för stora risker. rdf:langString
