Thread: hacer la capa

¿Cómo se traduce -hacer la capa- al inglés, en el entorno naútico?

hacer la capa

lo siento no hablo mucho espanol, pero posiblemente hacer la capa significa:

drag anchor (cuando la ancla no esta atascado y el barco se mueve)

to anchor (poner la ancla en la tierra)

to weigh anchor (levantar la ancla)

sea anchor (un tipo de ancla hecho de tela or algo similar)

Hacer: to make

Capa: cape or cloak

maybe: make sail

I´ve heard most Spanish speaking people who have sailboats talk about the "cockpit" of their sailboat...They never use a Spanish term...Do you think there is one? These are small sailboats I´m talking about ...H19, grumetes, cadets...Thanks!

Hi Sabrina!
I think your question could make a new thread....

And Elmeromero, what does it mean to "hacer la capa"?
