Tech/Engineering - Schiffe, Segeln, Seefahrt / Pershing yacht | | Spanisch Begriff oder Satz: aleta | La maniobra de amarre por popa está oculta en ambas ***aletas***. Levantando el espejo de popa se descubre el garaje para un bote auxiliar que se estiba atravesado sobre el eje de crujía; el bote, o la moto acuática, se botan mediante la pasarela hidráulica escamoteable, que ejerce también la función de grúa.
I am not sure what is meant in the first sentence - the stern mooring manouevre is hidden ???on both blades??? That doesn't sound right to me - but I simply can't picture what is going on here.
This is from the description of a luxury yacht (Pershing 62).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Sheila,
This isn't a big area of expertise of mine, but here's what I found:
According to Collins (the big dictionary), maniobra in a nautical sense can mean gear or rigging (=aparejo).
I found “quarter” for aletas.
ALETAS
Partes más curvas del costado en las proximidades de la popa.
http://www.socaire.com/vocabulario.htm
QUARTER - The sides of a boat aft of amidships.
ALETAS
http://perso.wanadoo.es/palizon/dic/dic_en_es.htm
Quarter The portion of the ship midway between the beam and stern. Afterpart of a vessel's side (port quarter, starboard quarter).
http://www.eastlandmemorial.org/glossary.shtml
So it sounds like the mooring gear is hidden in the quarter on each side (I think, anyway--maybe somone who knows more about this stuff can confirm).

Sheila, this isn't "your" Pershing, but look at this:
Notable features on the 54 include a retractable aft deck sun shade, the high grade stainless steel pop up cleats, ***the neatly hidden aft cleats*** with tailing winches, the aft sunpad, and the aft deck boarding passarelle that is traditionally used in Europe for vessels moored using a Mediterranean style mooring.

Also, atop the gunwales from amidships to stern: stainless steel hand rails and ***"recessed" cleats where the gunwale is angled about 45 degrees.***
http://tinyurl.com/8z66w
I believe those are "mooring cleats" they're talking about. From what I've seen, the "gunwale" refers to the top of the side--and it did say hidden AFT cleats, which fits the definition of quarter. I have a feeling this is what your text is referring to. |

| when mooring, both quarter views are obstructed
Erklärung:
This means that when you are mooring the boat stern on...meaning mooring by backing the boat into the dock, you cannot see - as you stand at the wheel and look back around - what is going on at the quarters...meaning from part of the boat that runs from amidships to the back on both sides ie on the port and starboard sides..The view of the quarters is obstructed for the person at the wheel....:)
maniobra de amarre is just mooring, IMO...in English, you don't need the word maneouvre...mooring is a manoeuvre
