Scudding under Bare Poles/ storm sailing Explanation: Scudding under Bare Poles. In seaman’s language to scud means to drive before a gale with no sails, or only just enough to keep the vessel ahead of the sea; “scudding under bare poles” is being driven by the wind so violently that no sail at all is set. http://www.bartleby.com/81/15051.html scud [] идти под штормовым ветром (убрав паруса) LingvoUniversal (En-Ru) (for Lingvo 12) The Universal English-Russian Dictionary. © ABBYY Software, 2006. 100,000 entries. - Активное штормование с ходом по волне Active storm sailing with before wind course http://www.science.sakhalin.ru/Ship/Vlad_E1.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 Min.

peer agreement (net): +2to ride out the storm Explanation: I don't know for sure that "to scud under bare poles" would be wrong, especially because I see that in Multitran somebody gave German "vor Topp und Takel liegen" for штормование, and that sounds consistent with "scudding under bare poles." BUT... is scudding under bare poles something that a ship expressly sails out into the sea to do? I don't think so; I believe it's what can be done when a storm catches you by surprise, already at sea. Therefore, from the context and from the definition of штормовать as "выдержать шторм", it sounds to me as if it would be "to ride out the storm." When a hurricane is approaching the shore, big ships will deliberately sail out of port into the open sea, to ride out the storm there so that they'll be less likely to crash into things. |
