da lasco tenuto aperto

Italian to English Other Ships, Sailing, Maritime notes of a solo sailor
Daily log of a solo sailor, owner of a historical sailboat. This will be an article in a new magazine about the sea. Here is the context:

"Mi inchino, beato, grato, di fronte alla meravigliosa Natura del nostro pianetino. Sotto di me la bella barca scivola al gran lasco senza sforzo, ben appoggiata, facendo tra sei e sette nodi. Naviga mure a dritta con il lungo boma fuori quel tanto che, così svergolata, la randa non sfiori le seconde crocette. Tira bene il grande fiocco leggero da lasco tenuto aperto come è dalla scotta supplementare passata alla varea del boma. "


This magazine is to be launched in Italy and in 3 American cities on the East and West Coast. The magazine is not specifically targeted to people who sail, but who love everything about the sea.
