大内健二、あんたが知らない船の話、44:
「帆の構造から船の後方からの順風を受ける(真帆と呼ぶ)航法。。。」
  Comments:
The technical meaning of 真帆 is downwind, and by extension "full sail", but "full sail" is somewhat misleading from a sailing point of view. The "opposite" of 真帆 is 片帆 (close-haul; reach), but even in the case of reaching, the sail can be kept "full".
