В какой-то момент катамаран резко прижало боком к упавшему в воду дереву, я успел выскочить из упоров (это некое подобие стремян, в которых коленями держится человек, сидящий в катамаране).
Wondering if anyone knows the proper name for these. TIA.

knee grips
Most white-water kayaks and sea kayaks now have a much larger egg-shaped cockpit, often the same width as an Ocean cockpit but long enough for the kayaker to bring his/her knees up above the deck, at least one at a time, when (s)he is sitting in the seat. These cockpits have a knee grip on each side which projects a short distance into the narrow end of the egg, supporting the spraydeck and allowing the kayaker to brace him / herself solidly in the boat.
