Definition from own experience or research:
lijzijde; beschutte zijde, kant waarheen de wind waait (Van Dale E-N)

Example sentence(s):
  • Lijzijde of lij is de zijde van een voorwerp (bijvoorbeeld een gebergte) dat in de luwte van de wind ligt (tegenovergesteld aan loefzijde). In de scheepvaart wordt de lijzijde wordt ook wel de lage kant genoemd, aangezien een schip overhelt onder de winddruk naar lijzijde. - Wikipedia  
  • Natuurlijk kan het gebeuren dat je in je zeilboot een andere zeilboot tegenkomt. Dan zijn er twee mogelijkheden: Beide boten hebben het zeil aan dezelfde kant (beide SB of BB) staan: ze varen over dezelfde boeg. In dit geval moet het schip dat het andere schip aan lij van zich ziet uitwijken. Dus: loef wijkt voor lij of wie minder scherp vaart wijkt. - Zeilcursus
