Ships, Sailing, Maritime | | Spanish term or phrase: al amollar escota | Right escota is the "sheet" in nautical terms, I know that from sailing but what I'm not sure is of the correct term with regards to "amollar", I would imagine it is the same as "soltar" which would be slacket, let loose, or ease the sheet. Can anyone give me the exact term, it is for a test thanks UK english
