the 'gar' prefix seems important. Looks like the origin is the Dutch word
for "cooked" or "done".
I would think it would be put in place early in the process, so "done"
didn't work for me. But I remember building a small boat when I was a kid
and we steamed or "cooked" the boards to make them pliable.
Ok, I give.

No no no.... "Gar" is a kind of fish

The garbord strake is obviously named that because it keeps the fish out!

Why?... did your neighbor's sheep stray into the yard again?

BTW - speaking as a former fisherman who learned from the old timers and
having owned strake built Cape Islanders... have you ever caulked a seam in
your entire life? If you did.. at what gap size do you switch from oakum to
cotton and what is the correct mix ratios for the putty..... matter of fact
what are the ingredients of proper caulking putty???
