Marketing - Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Sailing boat publicity | | French term or phrase: Toute voile dehors au près | I'm sure there's a standard phrase - maybe "with all sails set"? Please confirm or advise!
Les voiles
Le bateau possède une large garde-robe constituée d’une grand voile de 70 m2 en hydranet ou en tissu D4, d’un génois autovireur de 52 m2, d’un code 0 de 130m2 et d’un spi asymétrique de 180 m2.
Le plan de voilure est conçu pour faciliter, seul ou en équipage réduit, les manuvres.
Pour preuve, la grand voile est équipée de 3 ris automatiques, tout en disposant d’une grande réserve de puissance.
**Toute voile dehors au près**, le voilier affiche un ratio de plus de 10 m2 de toile par tonne, garantissant la performance par tous les temps et des sensations fortes à la barre. |

Why, hello sailor!
Seriously, though, you ought to wait and see if Michael Green or Graham Maclachlan chip in, since they're the real experts here — along with several others, of course!
I've been ashore too long, I've become a land-lubber now... |
