to back (the staysail) Explanation: "Border" = "to sheet", right - sauf lorsqu'il s'agit de "border un foc à contre" (pour faciliter le virage, qu'il soit de bord ou sous le vent - ce qui paraît bien être le cas ici au vu du limited context). Or la trinquette est une "voile d'avant dans un voilier, triangulaire et associée au système complet des focs" (Web.Ref.1). In English: staysail. IMHO on peut donc proposer "to back the staysail" !
