careen careen Whether it’s an unsteady ship, a speeding bus, or a person who is woozy, use the verb careen to describe something that’s teetering from side to side. When the word careen first entered the English language in the sixteenth century, it was used to describe a beached ship that was turned on its side for repair. The word can still refer to making those kinds of nautical repairs, but now you’re more likely to hear the word used to describe something that is swaying from side to side. You may feel like a ship out of control if you careen madly through a crowd or if you careen down a steep hill on skis.

The square sail was good for sailing if the wind was blowing behind or to the side of the sail, but not good for sailing into the wind. (b) Lateen sails were used first on Arab ships and then Mediterranean vessels. They started in a right triangle shape with the top corner attached to the mast but soon the lower point of the sail was cut off the the sail attached to the mast at the bottom as well, with a pole along the bottom edge to keep it straight.

It is the duty of the burdened vessel to keep out of the way. Generally, a sailing vessel is privileged in relation to a power boat. But this is not true if the power boat cannot safely navigate outside the channel in which she is cruising, nor is it true if the sailing vessel is overtaking another vessel.
