backing downManeuvering in reverse when offshore fishing while attempting to land a fish. backstayA support for the mast to keep it from falling forward. bailTo remove water with a bucket or pump.
backing (wind) - The changing of the wind direction, opposite of veering. Clockwise in the southern hemisphere, counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Backing wind:
The wind shifts in a counterclockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere (opposite of VEER); the wind is said to back when it changes contrary to its normal pattern.
Backing {wind}: Wind changing its direction, counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the southern hemisphere; opposite of veering.
Though backing the jib is the fastest and surest method of falling off onto the desired tack, there are other ways. If the boat is drifting backward as in Figure 4, put the tiller to starboard.
A vessel backing out of a dock should:
-sound 1 prolonged blast prior to backing to
announce the intention to leave the dock
-then 3 short blasts to indicate operating
astern propulsion (see slide #12) ...
Instead of backing up your boat into a slip, you are going to approach the dock at a very shallow angle and very slow, but remember: keep steerage.
Steering when backing up - Holding you hand and grasping the bottom of the steering wheel, if you want the trailer to go left, move your hand and the bottom of the wheel to the left.
A boat that is backing up (moving backwards through the water) because she backed a sail must keep clear of other boats.
Backing A Sail - To push a sail out so that the wind fills the opposite side, thus slowing the boat down.
Once you get your boat back head to wind start the backing process again. If you handle the anchor line properly you can back the boat exactly where you want it! By paying out the anchor line slowly you can direct the boat either left or right.
KEEL The junction of the bottom planking along the centerline of the boat or the inside member backing this junction aft of the stem. The term also refers to an outer longitudinal appendage on the centerline.
In fact, prior to our test sail, we used the 350 as a photo boat for shooting the Dehler 39 we tested last month, which meant all kinds of starting, stopping, backing up and swerving about as Walter tried to position us for the perfect shot.
Often a vessel is worked up a narrow channel with a weather tide by backing and filling: that is, the helm is put down slowly, and the vessel kept moving until she is nearly head to wind; the helm is then put smartly up, and the vessel filled again.

A shifting of the wind direction, opposite of backing. Clockwise in the northern hemisphere, counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Velocity Made Good
Also VMG. Actual boat speed after adjusting for such factors as current and leeway.
is laid out (a minimum of 8:1 for setting the anchor, and 5:1 for holding, though the preferred ratio is 10:1 for both setting, and holding power), the vessel should be gently forced astern, usually using the auxiliary motor but possibly by backing a ...
Set the parking brake on the towing vehicle (or first gear if a manual transmission) after backing down.
Lower the engine or outdrive, and start the engine. If you have problems, you can retrieve the vessel easily.
As the bow approaches head to wind (no-sail zone) the jib begins to fill on the wrong side backing the bow to the new tack as the helmsman pulls the tiller amidships.

Two short blasts - I’m altering my course to Port. Three short blasts - I’m backing up In international waters no reply is needed. In inland waters show agreement with same return signal. Never reply with a different number of blasts ...
position and drill one hole each side of the break in way of the original land joint. These holes are to take small-diameter galvanised or non-ferrous countersunk full-thread bolts to pull back the fracture. You may need to fit a temporary backing ...
a sail is backed or aback it is trimmed to windward rather than to leeward, as is usual. A back eddy is a current flowing against the main current. 2) A counterclockwise wind shift. When the wind shifts from north to west it backs or is a backing ...
Indicates that there will be considerable change in wind direction across the path of a depression within the forecast area.
