French term

améliorer l’étanchéité des soutes entre la quille et les serres

French to English Tech/Engineering Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Application au fond de la quille d’une couche de 10 cm de résine pour améliorer l’étanchéité des soutes entre la quille et les serres
According to the glossaire maritime de wikipedia:
Serre : poutre longitudinale pour raidir une muraille ou une cloison.
But I am unable to find the translation into English.

Any hint?
Thanks a lot!
