: A knee tube is a storage tube that runs down the centerline of the underside
: of the foredeck. It also serves as a brace for your knees when edging and
: rolling, hence the name.

Thanks Brian. Am I allowed a couple more questions? What is the normal size? (If there is a normal size). How is it constructed or is it simply a piece of tube epoxied in? Does it have a lid or access port? This sounds like a great idea that I haven't seen on this site before and it comes just in time for me to incorporate it into the double I,m building right now. If that works out out I'll do it in the Cape Ann Expedition that will be my next project. (Whoever said you can't build just one was right). Thanks again.
