Zdanie: Zagrożenia dla tradycyjnych poduszkowców - na lodzie: Wpadnięcie w oparzelinę przy dużej prędkości i przeciągnięciu na dziób.
Niestety, nie orientuję się zbytnio w tematyce żeglarsko-wodnej, przychodzi mi jedynie do głowy przeciągnięcie w lotnictwie (stall), czy można użyć tego terminu w tym kontekście?

drag the bow [down]
nie jestem pewien, ale chyba "drag" jest tu ważne ...
A hovercraft, such as the DiscoverHover One, is able to glide or slide easily because there is so little contact friction with the surface over which it is hovering. Still, there are forms of friction which come into play, and these frictional forces are usually known as drag. Drag occurs in several forms, the most familiar being wind resistance, or form drag, which is created by the hovercraft having to push aside air as it moves forward. This effect increases more and more as the hovercraft’s speed increases. Streamlining the shape of the hovercraft decreases the wind resistance, resulting in higher top speeds. While wind resistance is always present, it becomes a much greater problem at speeds of 50 km/hr [31 mph] and above. Since DiscoverHover hovercraft usually don't exceed 50 km/hr [31 mph], wind resistance is not as noticeable as it would be on other light hovercraft.
