i certainly could !!
a lot of naval terms in Russia are in fact dutch.
this is because of Peter the great bringing in dutch naval people to teach the Russians.
this happened way back around 1500 or so ,, because the Netherlands was the best world going sailing country back than.
till this day the terms for sails and ropes and many many many more are still dutch.
