C3L1U1B3H4A1U1L1I1N1G2S1

A form of clubhauling — 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.
