Had his next signal been promptly obeyed, he might have passed again by the British fleet, in fairly good order, before it re-formed, and concentrated his fire on the more leewardly of its vessels.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Major Operations of the Navies in the War of American Independence] Reference

I have now had several opportunities of seeing that from the want of our main and after keels we are so leewardly that the Investigator in 6 hours will get with ease 4 miles to windward of the brig.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Logbooks of the Lady Nelson With the journal of her first commander Lieutenant James Grant] Reference

And again in his journal he says, "the Lady Nelson sailed so ill and had become so leewardly since the loss of the main and part of the after keel that she not only caused us delay but ran great risk of being lost.".    From Wordnik.com.  [The Logbooks of the Lady Nelson With the journal of her first commander Lieutenant James Grant] Reference

After making my observations, I rejoined the Lady Nelson two miles below the woody islet; but the wind blowing fresh up the bay, and the brig being leewardly, went on and with some difficulty landed on the west side, opposite to the entrance of the eastern arm.    From Wordnik.com.  [A Voyage to Terra Australis — Volume 2] Reference

The breeze had then shifted to south, and the Lady Nelson being to windward, the signal was made for her to look for anchorage; but the brig being very leewardly, we passed her and stood into the bight by an opening between the islets of one mile wide and from 10 to 7 fathoms in depth.    From Wordnik.com.  [A Voyage to Terra Australis — Volume 2] Reference

The Lady Nelson sailed so ill, and had become so leewardly since the loss of the main, and part of the after keel, that she not only caused us delay, but ran great risk of being lost; and instead of saving the crew of the Investigator, in case of accident, which was one of the principal objects of her attendance, it was too probable we might be called upon to render her that assistance.    From Wordnik.com.  [A Voyage to Terra Australis — Volume 2] Reference
