Q

The garboard strake is located __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Definition of strake in ship construction • Relationship between keel, bottom planking, and first row of plating or planks • Where the lowest longitudinal plating or planking is fitted on each side of the keel

💭 Think About

• Visualize the cross-section of a hull from keel up to the deck edge; where would the first plank or plate next to the keel be located? • Think about which choice describes a strip running fore‑and‑aft along the hull, rather than a single point or edge. • Eliminate any answers that sound like the very outer edge of the deck or the rounded bilge area, since those have their own specific names.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that a garboard strake is a strake (a continuous fore‑and‑aft strip of plating/planking), not a single localized spot. • Verify its position relative to the keel — is it directly under, alongside, or higher on the hull? • Make sure the option you choose could logically exist on both sides of the keel, running along the length of the vessel.
