Bechstein Date

[John Ross]

It's ok, Terry. It sounds like you have come up with a word, that fits.
I just couldn't visualize what you meant, although, if I had thought, it had
to mean what you said.

> Sorry for my terminology John. I guess Del covered it though. Most boats
have smooth curves to the hull, but some have a hard corner - often just
below the water line - and most often on power boats. That hard corner is a
chine. The frames along the chine will be two pieces that are joined, rather
than one continuous rib/frame - just like in a piano. I thought it to be a
fair application of the term.
