Danish term or phrase: skåret vinden
... ved sejlads, hvor skibet har skåret vinden.

Can any sailors out there help me with this...or direct me to some good sources for sailing/maritime terminology? I have been searching unsuccessfully for a good Danish-English maritime dictionary for some time now.
