French term
rappel

Ahoy there! Here's another glossary def. that has me reaching for the distress flare:
"Position des membres de l'equipage contribuant a l'equilibre du bateau".
Does it mean the captain calls out "rappel" so that they move to these pre-defined positions, or is it just a descriptive term, like "even keel" (but not suitable here, I'm guessing.)?

Hiking Out
Hiking Out- Moving a crewman’s weight outside the boat to the windward side. The technique is used on small boats to decrease the heeling angle.

| Mmm, I think that's too specific: I went for trimming in the end. Thanks. |

: I presume that both our terms are correct, but perhaps US and GB?// Ah, that may explain, myself I spent about 5 years as bosun on a wooden brig in my early 20s and have sailed on and off ever since.

I guess that is it! I am a sailing instructor but I was educated in the USA.

I agree with Drmanu, "trimming" is not suitable here: the crew sitting out trims the vessel

In bigger yachts, the crew sit with their legs hanging over the side, that's "sitting out" too (it's also about the only place they can sit with a modicum of comfort!)
Coming back to trim, I am not sure that people can trim themselves or any living thing: trim the crew bosun! ouch!

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your efforts, but both your answers refer to moving "outside" of the boat, which is not in the def. above. Trimming can refer to sails, cargo, crew, and is nonspecific, as is the def. |

: Nice one Bluebottle! By the way check "trim" in my ref and you will understand my former answer.

I can hear Admiral Bloodnok saying it now, "sit out Bluebottle!" :-)
