English term (edited):
trim sails to the wind
indrette sig efter forholdene
Det kan have to betydninger:
Hvis det er maritimt, er det at 'trimme sejlene til vinden' som Poul siger.
Men hvis det ikke er maritimt, er det et udtryk, der betyder at 'indrette sig efter forholdene'. Se Gyldendals 'store røde' ordbog EN>DA
Håber det hjælper.. :-)
