Bear Away
Altering course away from the wind.
This moves the vessel onto a wider wind angle, such as from close-hauled to a reach or from a reach towards a run. The sails normally need to be eased as the apparent wind moves aft. It may be done to avoid another vessel, follow a planned course, reduce pressure in the sails, or prepare for a gybe. The helm should make the change smoothly while the crew adjust trim to maintain balance.
