On a Down Wind Run (Sailboat), Set the Jib to the windward side; tight and flat. Set the Center Board to 40% extended. Point the bow to not less than 20 degrees off dead down wind. Hang a Sea Anchor (drogue) off the stern. This will put you in a defensive position to deal with a broach in progress.

What is it called when submarine emerges?

The Naval term for a submarine's initial rise above the surface of the water is called "broaching", e.g., a submarine has broached the surface. It takes more effort to fully surface a boat to where it's buoyant enough to stay on the surface. Broaching can be done intentionally or unintentionally by nature. If a boat is at periscope depth (about 65' for most boats), and sea swells are large, a big enough wave can suck a boat right to the surface without warning.
