agree  Michael GREEN: Vos liens ont au moins le mérite de décrire/définir le phénomène: "Néanmoins toujours scabreux, l'empannage chinois, lorsqu'au cours de cette manœuvre, la bôme se dresse à la verticale et que la grand-voile fait poche."

Reference information:
I think PierreNd should be congratulated for finding what appears to be the correct term. There are over 100 Ghits for "empannage chinois", and some have definitions (as in EN, they don't all agree on what is happening during a chinese broach).

And there's even a video of an "empannage chinois" :

I think that must be the video posted by ALIAS Trad, though it is no longer available at the link he gave above.

And it even happens to the best:
"Sir Robin Knox-Johnston (Saga Insurance) a connu quelques avaries dans la traversée du Pot au Noir et a été victime d’un empannage chinois dans un grain violent, ce qui a cassé toutes ses lattes de grand-voile." (http://www.ecover.com/fr/fr/News/Details.htm?ID=105)

Example sentence(s):
  • Empannage "chinois" : Si le hale-bas de bôme est insuffisamment étarqué, la chute de la grand voile est très libre. Dans ce cas, si l'abattée est trop lente, il peut arriver que seul le bas de la grand voile change d'amure, le haut restant à l'autre
