AWEIGH, meaning to raise the anchor, right?
And the other one would be....

I like it when they mention the term "ABREAST" That would mean, two vessels lying with their sides in a parallel direction 
Another one is "BAGGYWRINKLE"  which refers to chafing gear made from old ropes..

I like the terms:
1. EAR-RING: it's the small rope fastened to the cringle in the head of the sail.
2. STEADY: well, it's when the boat is going on its right course off the wind.
3. CHASER: a pursuing vessel.
Lastly..
4. UNDER BARE POLES: it's when the ship doesn't have a sail set...

How about CHASER! It is the small, long range gun mounted in the bow of your ship.
