brace, to, to swing round, by means of
braces, the
yards of a
square-rigged ship to present a more efficient sail surface to the direction of the wind. By bracing the yards at different angles to the fore-and-aft line of the ship, the best advantage can be taken of any wind which may be blowing. Thus, the yards are
braced aback to bring the wind on the forward side of the sails to take the way off the ship; are
braced about to bring the ship on the opposite
tack when going about; are
braced abox to bring the head-yards flat
aback to stop the ship; are
braced by to bring the yards in contrary directions on different masts to lie the ship to or
heave to; are
braced in to lay the yards squarer to the fore-and-aft line for a
free wind; and are
braced sharp to bring the yards round to make the smallest possible angle with the fore-and-aft line when sailing
close hauled.
