English translation:rabbet
Explanation:
Translation from Robb's dictionary for engineers. Your sentence seems to be the definition of "aparadura", which Robb has as "garbel" or "plate of the garboard strake". Have a look here for definition of rabbet in this context:

Asker: Thanks Cindy. That's a nice link. I'm translating a glossary so you are quite right about the definition.

  -> thanks
disagree  slothm: This is not any rabbet, this is the grove made in the keel and nowhere else.
45 mins
  -> did you bother looking at the link I posted from a book on wooden boats, with a definition of rabbet? Your disagree is way out of line.
agree  Taña Dalglish: The "Diccionario Politécnico - española e inglesa" supports your answer! http://books.google.com/books?id=ZIU4-UjfzYcC&pg=PA1137&lpg=...

keel rabbet


Explanation:
Alefriz is the rabbet made in the keel.

A rabbet is the general expression for a grove cut out in any piece of wood.
In this case the rabbet is grooved in the keel and this type of rabbet, in Spanish, has the name alefriz.

Asker: Yes slothm, obviously we are talking about a keel rabbet (alefriz de quilla) although the target only requires "rabbet" since from the source context (primera traca del fondo/garboard strake) it can be no other. Thanks for your collaboration.

Bearding line


Explanation:
2 Línea del alefriz –popa
El término línea del alefriz en popa1, o bien sólo línea del alefriz, (en inglés, bearding line) se utiliza para referirse a la línea que delimita la parte rebajada de la falsa quilla, tanto en proa como en popa (véase la Figura 2). Es un lugar donde es necesario realizar un rebaje para permitir que las tracas del forro asienten con suavidad sobre la falsa quilla. La profundidad del rebaje es variable a lo largo de la quilla, y habitualmente aparece reflejada en los planos. Aunque no es necesario realizar este rebaje en todos los casos, debe hacerlo si quiere dotar a su modelo de cierto realismo.

Asker: Hola Mariluz. Con "bearding line" se refiere a la linea de alefriz, pero no a la rebaja en sí.
