Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τὰς ζευκτηρίας τῶν πηδαλίων
the the ropes ˱of˲_the rudders
The words bands and rudders are nautical terms. The rudders were large pieces of wood at the back of the ship that the sailors used for steering the ship. The bands were ropes or cords that held the rudders out of the water while anchors were holding the ship in one place. If your language does not have comparable nautical terms, you could state the meaning plainly in your translation. Alternate translation: “the ropes that held out of the water the pieces of wood that the sailors used to steer the ship”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
τὸν ἀρτέμωνα
the foresail
A sail is a large piece of cloth that catches the wind in order to propel a ship through the water. A topsail is a sail that sailors place at the top of a mast on a ship. A mast is a vertical pole with cross-poles that hold sails. Alternate translation: “the sail that sailors put at the top of a pole, high above the ship”

κατεῖχον εἰς τὸν αἰγιαλόν
˱they˲_/were/_keeping for the shore
In this context, the expression they were heading is a nautical term that describes a ship moving in a specific direction. If your language does not have a comparable nautical term, you could state the meaning plainly in your translation. Alternate translation: “they were steering the ship toward the beach”
27:39-41 They ran the ship aground on a shoal or reef.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
