Power problem and rudder problem Explanation: Il me semble que "failure" est trop... définitif ! IMHO, avec une "avarie", le bateau peut continuer à naviguer. Avec une "failure", non ! For "avarie" = "problem", see Web.Ref. Reference: http://www.wordreference.com/fren/avarie |

loss of propulsion + loss of helm/steerage Explanation: Propulsion can be supplied by sail as well as by engine. Helm or steerage is the ability to steer a craft with or without engine. The context here is probably a ship but as a matter of interest, rudderless steering of a yacht is possible in an emergency: "Most boats will sail rudderless with the main half on, and a small jib, in a reasonable line, using the mainsheet control for the steering. To go upwind, bring the mainsheet on, and if necessary the traveller up. To go away, do the opposite." Reference: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Rudder+less%3A+many+dangers+lu... |

propulsion breakdown + steering gear breakdown Explanation: I'm surprised the moderators haven't pounced on you because you've asked two questions here. Maybe they're having a day off ;-) Anyway, if we are talking about "emergencies" then I think "failure" or "breakdown" are suitable translations for "avarie". In the case of an event, "damage" may well be the right word. It's tempting to agree with Dr Manu and his translations "engine" and "rudder" however the terms "propulsion" and "barre" aren't limited to two particular parts but to two whole systems (e.g. propulsion = engine, shaft, propeller, etc.) DCNS give "steering gear breakdown" for "avaries de barre" in their glossary. They don't mention "avarie de propulsion" although they translate "propulsion" as "propulsion". |
