vela delantera / trinquete / vela de trinquete / vela triangular colgada al mástil de proa de un vel


Explanation:
..de un velero


vela delantera, trinquete, vela de trinquete; Principal sail hung to the foremast of a square-rigged ship. ; The lowest sail on the foremast of a square-rigged vessel.
vela triangular colgada al mástil de proa de un velero; Sinónimos: forestaysail; Triangular sail hung to the forestay of a cutter or other small sailing vessels.

A 'foresail' is one of a few different types of sail set on the foremost mast (foremast) of a sailing vessel: * A fore and aft sail set on the foremast of a schooner or similar vessel. * The lowest square-sail on the foremast of a full rigged ship or other vessel which is square-rigged. Sails set forward of the foremast, such as jibs and staysails, are sometimes referred to as foresails, although "headsails" is a more common term.

agree  Richard Boulter: This seems to be the clearest of the explanations among the various sails that can be mounted on the bow of a ship. It will be important in the Query to get the right tech term: 'trinquete' appears to be the one that differentiates the Query term.

foque, trinquete,


Explanation:
Depends on the type of boat. Foques are all sails flown from the bowsprit whereas in English a trinquete would also be classified as a foresail.

vela de proa


Explanation:
"A foresail is one of a few different types of sail set on the foremost mast (foremast) of a sailing vessel" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foresail)
En español esto corresponde a "vela de proa". Hay dos tipos principales de velas de proa: la genoa (o génova) y el foque. También se usa el término "vela menor" por oposición a la "vela mayor".
En un velero se suelen llevar varias velas de proa, para poder adaptarse lo mejor posible a las condiciones del viento. En general mientras menos viento, vela de mayor superficie.
Algunas veces se lleva una trinqueta o trinquete: "La trinqueta es otra vela de proa situada por detrás del foque o el génova, y soportada en un estay algo más pequeño que el de proa" en http://www.fondear.org/infonautic/Barco/Velas_Aparejos/Velas... En inglés se denomina "staysail"

"trinquete o trinqueta" así como "foque" son tipos de velas de proa/foresail. NO SON EL TERMINO GENERICO!!!!!!

Example sentence(s):
  • El foque es una vela triangular que se coloca a proa del palo más a proa en un barco. (http://charter.costasur.com/es/foque.html)
  • El foque o genova (vela de proa) (en http://www.mardevela.com/cenyida.htm)
