Another nautical term?
 
One of my favorite nautically based expressions is "By and Large," as in "By and
large, Booby doesn't know how to sail."

Who knows what it really means?

Square rigger term for all sails set on the fastest point of sail.
I've also heard it as " full and by"

My understanding was the full and by means sailing close hauled
with the sails trimmed properly. Don't forget to dog down the
scuttles.

By and Large
1) Colloquial term meaning ‘For the most part.’ Origin of the term seems
to be that a ship was considered particularly seaworthy if it could sail
both ‘by’ (close to the wind) and ‘large’ (broad to or before the wind).

2) A term derived from two sailing terms combined: "By the wind"
(Close-hauled), and "Sailing Large" (Running Free). The term, 'at large' ,
also comes from this usage.

I thought "bi and large" refered to fat homos like Jon-boy.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

A winner - though it would be better if you at least pretended you knew the
answer rather than copying a dictionary.

I always liked this phrase because it has such meaning for a sailor, but the
lubbers who use it so frequently are clueless to its meaning, even if you
explain it.

By the wind was close hauled.

Large on the wind was down wind.

By and Large, means "in all directions", or "in all situations".

ie "full". If you're pinching at all, it's not full and by.
Accordingly, full & by is not quite the closest on the wind

Flying Tadpole, ex schooner skipper where full and by was 5
degrees off!

The rarity of Loki points will make them quite valuable in the future. Keep
them in a safe place along with your S&H Green stamps and your Confederate
dollars.
