peer agreement (net): +4head gusset/knee Explanation: according to a glossary by the Chasse-marée magazine -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2007-02-21 09:25:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I've never heard 'gusset' used in boat construction, so I'd go with 'knee'. In boatbuilding, 'tête' and 'pied' are translated literally. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2007-02-21 09:28:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- However, a DCN glossary I have gives both terms thus: gousset de tête = beam bracket gousset de pied = bilge bracket -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2007-02-21 09:29:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- beams support the deck -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-02-21 10:53:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- From the OED: Gusset 5. A flat bracket or angular piece fixed at an angle of a structure to give strength or firmness. M19. |
