Thrusters

Bow thrusters: a propeller at the lower sea-covered part of the bow of the ship which turns at right angles to the fore-and-aft line and thus provides transverse thrust as a maneuvering aid.
B/p or bop: balance of payments.

It is a compromise between the 'spoon-shaped' stern usually found on ocean liners, and the flat transom, often required for fitting azimuth thrusters. The design allows for improved seagoing characteristics.

Your options for countering the wind quickly dwindle, because boats cannot propel themselves sideways (ignoring, for now, twin screw effects, bowthrusters, etc.), and you may have very little steering ability as the boat loses headway.
