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.

Broaching a boat refers to a situation where the vessel is turned sideways to the waves, often due to strong winds or rough seas. This can lead to the boat being overwhelmed by waves, increasing the risk of capsizing or losing control. Broaching is particularly dangerous for sailing vessels and can occur during a strong gust of wind or when sailing downwind. Proper boat handling techniques and awareness of weather conditions can help prevent broaching.
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.
Broaching is a machining process where a cutting tool with teeth removes material from a workpiece. It is commonly used to create slots, keyways, and other intricate shapes in metal parts. Broaching is known for its ability to produce highly precise and accurate results.
