English term or phrase: "Let's go in full sail"
Dear Translators,

Could you please help me translate the phrase "Let's go in full sail" into Dutch asap.

It is a slogan that expresses the sailors open the sails of the sailboat through the wind and go in full speed.

Thank you in advance

er met volle zeilen tegenaan gaan


Explanation:
As far as I now and could verify, there is no exactly matching expression.

There is one that bares a striking resemblance, "er met volle zeilen in vliegen", but it means something else, namely: to fall for something hook, line and sinker.

So I would suggest using "met volle zeilen", which is a naval term, combined with whatever you want to express.
