WISH [5 records]

Record 1 2018-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Outfitting of Ships
  • Surfing and Water-Skiing
CONT

The wishbone is the boom onto which the board sailor holds. It is the sole means of steering, acceleration and braking - the means of controlling the board. It is designed to run right round the sail, using either two semi-circular sections, or in some cases, two parallel bars, joined at the ends by U-sections.

CONT

In addition, wide booms give a sailor better leverage over his sail by keeping it farther away from his body.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Armement et gréement
  • Ski nautique et surfing
DEF

Partie mobile du gréement, à double arceau, qui permet de manœuvrer la voile.

CONT

Le wishbone soutient l'arrière de la voile. C'est à ce wishbone que l'on naviguera bientôt cramponné des deux mains. Le wishbone est fixé autour de la voile et du mât.

CONT

Le cerceau doit être placé parallèlement au mât en prenant soin de placer le devant de la fourchette le plus près possible du cordon avant.

OBS

Seul le Petit Robert mentionne que «wishbone» est un anglicisme (PEROB, 1989, page 2124).
