querschlagen
Die Frage gab es schon mal, dort wurde allerdings der Sonnenschuss als richtige Antwort ausgewählt. Hier fände ich "querschlagen" passender. Vgl. auch http://relationship.m-fink.de/service/sailing/dictionary/q.h...
Example sentence:
querschlagen: vom achterlichen Seegang so herumgedrückt werden, dass das Boot parallel zu den Seen liegt und u.U. kentert.
