Q

What is another name for the garboard strake?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Location of the garboard strake on a ship’s hull • Relationship between the garboard strake and the keel • How strakes are named depending on their position on the hull

💭 Think About

• Think about where the garboard strake is attached on the hull: what main structural member is it next to? • Which of these choices sounds like a plate or strake that runs alongside the keel, rather than higher up on the side shell? • Eliminate any options that clearly refer to parts away from the keel or that are generic names for strakes.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that the garboard strake is the first strake next to the keel on each side of the vessel. • Check which option’s wording clearly indicates a plate running alongside the keel. • Confirm that the choice you select is specifically associated with the bottom plating near the keel, not the upper side shell.
