The name is derived from nautical clubbing (dragging an anchor
along the seabed) and hauling (changing
direction).
Verb
A risky maneuver whereby a sail-boat tacks (turns sharply into the
wind) by dropping one of the front anchors, the intent being to
snag the anchor on the seabed and use the ship's momentum to swing
it around faster than could otherwise be accomplished; it is
essentially a nautical handbrake turn.
