[Alberg30] What's a knee hull?

[George Dinwiddie]

The knees in question are wooden pieces glassed into the angle made by 
the hull and deck.  They hold the forward lower shrouds, which are 
foward of any convenient bulkheads for attachment.  On larger wooden 
vessels, knees are curved pieces of wood, hence the name as they look 
like the knee of a leg.
