Spanish term or phrase: real del viento y aparente del viento
Here is the full paragraph:

La Fig. 8 es una vista en planta y parcialmente recortada del buque de la Fig. 1, y en las que se muestran las velocidades del buque (Vb). real del viento (Vr) y aparente del viento (Va).

-----------------

The best description of the image mentioned in the phrase that I can give, is a top view of the front of a sailboat that has a slightly slanted stiff sail to the left - not sure if that helps.
