Ships, Sailing, Maritime | | English term or phrase: on a run | About sailors' abilities
I can sail close hauled, on a close reach, beam reach, broad reach, and ***on a run***
Also the title of a game is "on the run" but I'm not sure if this is the same expression or if it just means "en fuite" to illustrate the move. |

En français on dit parfois "courir vent arrière"; comme les anglais finalement. |
