Marine DictionaryUniversal Dictionary of the Marine ⚓️

fair
a general term for the disposition of the wind, when it is favourable to a ship’s course, in opposition to that which is contrary or foul.
This term, when applied to the wind, is much more comprehensive than large, since the former seems to include about eighteen points of the compass, or at least sixteen; whereas large is confined to the beam or quarter, that is, to a wind which crosses the keel at right angles, or obliquely from the stern, but never to one right a-stern. See the articles LARGE and SCANT.
fair
WAY, the path or channel of a narrow bay, river, or haven, in which ships usually advance in their passage up and down; so that if any vessels are anchored therein, they are said to lye in the fair-way.
