The "trades on the outside" is not that common. If you refer to the use of the term in the song "Southern Cross", it can best by understood in the other lyrics. Trades refers to the trade winds which run west both north and south of the equator, between them are the doldrums or areas of inconsistent winds. Sailing reach is to sail perpendicular to the wind. Avalon is the major harbor on Catalina Island and Papeete the capital of Tahiti. So in the song it pictures after trying to call from a bar in Avalon sailed south cross wind to get past the doldrums and turn west to run downwind to Tahiti on the "outside" of the doldrums.
