Russian term or phrase: стать на воду
Идем по реке на одноместных каяках. Стали на воду чуть ниже порогов.

Это термин спортсменов-водников. "Стать на воду" - значит спустить лодки на воду, подготовить к отплытию. Интересует, существует ли в английском такой же специфический термин.

"Launches

...The launches are checked every week by the safety committee. However, it is also your responsibility to check over the launch before putting it into the water.

Make sure an experienced person is helping every time a launch is put into the water. Do not put one in if you do not know how to properly deploy the launch or if it appears that the launch trailer is broken."
