About sailors' abilities
I can sail close hauled, on a close reach, beam reach, broad reach, and ***on a run***
Also the title of a game is "on the run" but I'm not sure if this is the same expression or if it just means "en fuite" to illustrate the move.

vent arrière

Plus souvent appelé "running downwind", mais c'est la même chose.
Ici le marin maîtrise toutes les allures.

En français on dit parfois "courir vent arrière"; comme les anglais finalement.
