neutral  GILLES MEUNIER: ça n'existe pas delta du brion
5 mins
  -> le brion (liaison entre étrave et quille) a la forme d'un delta
neutral  Moli?re: Le GDT et Termiumplus de donnent aucune traduction au mot anglais Forefoot Delta - Je suis d'accord avec Gilles que delta du brion ne serait pas une fidèle traduction de l'anglais.

Explanation:
Hello,
Peut être que cette forme-ci :

"Le brion en forme delta ......
conviendrait mieux.
Cela décrit le brion, comme Gilles l'a mentioné dans son commentaire.
J'espere que cela aide un peu
Merci

section delta du brion


Explanation:
J'ai trouvé le suivant :

The second change Howard made was to add a flat (delta) area to the forward portion of the keel, just aft of where the bow forefoot makes contact with the water when on-plane. This delta section starts as only one inch wide and continues aft about 12 inches, creating a flat pad and a lace where the boat can turn on at normal cruising speeds (25 to 45 mph). The function of the forward delta is to create a definite pivot point for better cornering and to reduce the amount of banking (lean) as the turn increases in sharpness. http://www.howardboats.com/hbfeb97.html
