  "term": "Forefoot",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The lower end of a vessel's stem, where it curves aft to meet the forward end of the keel, below the waterline at the bow. In a wooden hull it is also the name of the curved timber forming this joint. A cut-away forefoot reduces underwater lateral area forward, which makes a sailing yacht turn more readily than a full forefoot does.",
