Fragment:
"Als de loods buitengaats, aan boord van een volgeladen schip, merkt dat het schip sterk **verlijert** en slecht stuurt, dient de loods dan uit voorzorg de sleepboot te laten vastmaken?"
I understand that "verlijeren" means that the ship is blown leeward by the wind, but is there any specific technical term for this phenomenon in English?
