Ashlar tiles at the University of Evora
I am translating the text describing scenes depited on the ashlar tiles othe University of Evora in Portugal. The term is a description of one of the images, but I am unable to find the term reference. I know that barcos a vela are sailboats, pero velas pandas I am unfamiliar with.
Muito obrigada!

boats with winds in their sails
"wind in the sail" é um expressão idiomática que descreve tanto a situação fática de barcos com velas cheias quanto a situação metafórica de bons prospectos, bons agouros, bom pressentimento.
