  Clubhaul \Club"haul`\, v. t. (Naut.)
     To put on the other tack by dropping the lee anchor as soon
     as the wind is out of the sails (which brings the vessel's
     head to the wind), and by cutting the cable as soon as she
     pays off on the other tack. Clubhauling is attempted only in
     an exigency.


     [1913 Webster]
