Italian term or phrase: poggiare
Again a command issued by tactician or helmsman, no context, sorry just a "poggia!" that I can find nowhere.

bear away
Explanation:
"to put the helm up, to windward, so that the boat alters course to leeward, away from the wind; the sails are trimmed to the new course by easing the sheets".
This appears in IATA, as well as in the Zanichelli tech dictionary; it also googles well in maritime contexts.
