Scout wrote: 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. No no no.... "Gar" is a kind of fish http://w3.trib.com/~garland/garfish.html http://www.taxidermy.net/reference/fish/gar/69c.html The garbord strake is obviously named that because it keeps the fish out! An idea but I don't think that's likely. Cheers |
