To spin out of control in such a way as to turn the vessel broadside to the wind, putting it in a position that may cause it to capsize.
A dangerous situation where the kayak is caught on an obstacle and is sideways in the current.
To turn a boat broadside to the current. Usually spells certain upset in heavy water.
To become caught in the current against an obstruction and turn sideways, a dangerous situation.
when fast current pins a kayaker's boat sideways against a rock or other stationary obstacle
A dangerous situation in which a canoe is caught against an obstruction and turned sideways by the current.
a decorative pin worn by women
To go over violently toward the wind and lose steering , a "knock down"
to lose control of the boat, causing it to spin out and nearly capsize
When a keelboat sailing on a run capsizes from a strong puff of wind or gets knocked down by a wave. Also called a Knockdown or a Wipeout.
turn sideways to wind and wave a turning or swinging of the boat that puts the beam against the waves, creating a danger of swamping or capsize.
To be turned sideways (in a canoe or kayak) by the force of a current and pinned against an obstruction. A dangerous position to be in. See Pinned; Entrapment
Turn a boat broadside to wind or waves, subjecting it to possible capsizing.
to spin out of control, either causing or nearly causing a capsize.
Broadside to any obstacle-wind, waves, current, or rocks; usually the prelude to an upstream capsize. Don't broach
occurs when a canoe or kayak becomes caught in the current against an obstruction and turned sideways. Can result in severe damage as the current's force warps the boat around the obstruction.
To pin sideways on a rock or to bridge between two rocks.
When the boat luffs up uncontrollably slewing around and heeling dangerously. In high seas the boat may be dismasted or capsized
An ornament requiring a pin to close.
The turning of a vessel broadside (90°) to the wind or waves, subjecting it to possible capsize (to turn over).
To be turned ninety degrees off course.
Sudden, unplanned, and uncontrolled turning of a vessel so that the hull is broadside to the seas or to the wind.
Broaching is a sudden change in heading angle of a sailboat, towards the wind caused by wind/sail interactions, that hull hydrodynamic reactions can't compensate for. This is principally due to the aerodynamic force on the rig greatly exceeding the hydrodynamic force on the hull, usually due to a sudden increase in wind strength. In small boats and dinghies, broaching often leads to capsize (see Death roll).
