| | wake / wake waves | Explanation:
According to my logistics dictionary, Benz Wessels, Sog is a slipstream, current, undertow or wake. In your context it sounds like they are talking abou the wake. I am not sure exactly what to make of the "Spitzen" but would suggest something like "wake waves" as I do believe that is what they are talking about. |
