German term or phrase: Beine
Tiefgang und Trimmlage des Pontons würden durch die jeweiligen Hubzustände der Beine beeinflußt (Schriftsatz der Schiedsklägerin vom 10. Februar 2003, Seite 14. Um einen größeren Tiefgang achtern zu erklären, müßte man aber annehmen, die achtern gelegenen Beine (Beine 6 und 8 Backbord; Beine 5 und 7 Steuerbord) seien weiter eingezogen gewesen als die vorderen.


Would 'legs' be the correct term here?

Thanks a lot !!
