CLUBHAULING is a maneuver in sailing where the anchor is dropped quickly while still under some forward sail, in order to turn the ship rapidly.
A risky maneuver whereby a sail-boat tacks (turns into and through the wind) by dropping one of the front anchors, the intent being to turn the boat in a tighter space than would be possible using the rudder and sails alone, especially when difficult conditions such as light winds or heavy swell make tacking more difficult than usual.
