Carlota, an online English and Spanish teacher sailing aboard Vegvisir, teams up with fellow liveaboard Grace to walk through basic sailboat anatomy in both languages.Watch The two cover bow (proa), stern (popa), boom (bum), deck (cubierta), port and starboard (babor and estribor), cockpit (bañera), helm (timón), hull (casco), and topsides (obra muerta) — along with the Spanish-only term obra viva for the underwater hull section.2:01 They also distinguish three points along the hull's side: amura (tack), costado (side), and aleta (stern quarter).2:01 The boom delivers a literal demonstration when it swings and nearly strikes Grace.0:39 The format is conversational and bilingual, with each term introduced in one language and immediately matched to its equivalent in the other. Neither speaker is a native English speaker, and the exchange highlights where Spanish nautical vocabulary is more poetic or precise than English — obra viva ("living work") for the underwater hull being the clearest example.2:00
