Spanish term or phrase: volando en popas
I'm not quite sure if this is an idiomatic expression or a more technical term.

Any help much appreciated.

It appears in the following article about Mean Machine's performance in the Portugal Trophy.

Ray Davies: “I hope to see Mean Machine volando en popas; it will be a sight for sore eyes”
La tripulación de Valle Romano hizo ayer sus primeras valoraciones en la jornada de entrenamientos del Trofeo de Portugal, que arranca hoy en Portimao.
