in sailing trim Explanation: I found this entry in a fairly lengthy bilingual maritime dictionary, but I'm not sure what it means: son de mar (a): in sailing trim p. 533, Diccionario Técnico Marítimo, Luis Suárez Gil, 1983. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2019-02-06 16:23:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I also found this, in the same dictionary, under "A": a son de mar. Nav. ready for sea, ready to sail. Plainer English, I suppose. |

snug the boat down Explanation: This what my instructor used to say when we were to face heavy weather or a night passage. Make sure everthing above and below decks is properly stowed, hatches closed and secured, safety gear to hand. Sails shortened. https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/snug+down |

heavy weather preparation Explanation: To prepare a ship for heavy weather, there are a dozen or more precations that have to be taken. 'Battening down the hatches' is the most obvious and has come to mean action to be taken in business, economic, etc. to indicate tough times ahead. One measure is to fill the bilge tanks to make the ship ride lower in the water, making it more stable. http://marinegyaan.com/what-are-heavy-weather-preparations-c... https://safety4sea.com/cm-emergency-procedures-always-be-pre... |

Reference: A son de mar Reference information: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_son_de_mar IMHO preparase o disponerse "a son de mar" significa una preparación completa para afrontar mar gruesa: trincado (sujeción); cerrado de escotillas, etc.; foque de tormenta o de capa [en veleros]; ancla de mar [en veleros]; etc. Como es mejor prevenir, lo precavido es hacer lo anterior (o saber que se puede/sabe hacer en el momento de hacerse a la mar. :-) |
