👉 Quay, an English word that translates to "turning back" or "turning round," is a method of navigating boats and ships. It involves turning one's vessel around to make a right turn at a particular point on the water. In sailing, it's common for sailors to use quays when they're going downstream or upstream to avoid getting stuck in choppy waters. Quay turns are often used during navigation to maintain control of the vessel and prevent it from drifting off course.
