tony reacted to Chuck Seiler in plank entire second layer length with one strip?
Another solution is to use a single plank for the strake, then score butt joints into the plank at the appropriate lengths and locations.

tony got a reaction from avsjerome2003 in canon ball placement on deck
Steve
Garlands were situated around hatches and other features along the centre of the ship.They were also fitted to the bulwarks of the quarter and foredecks aswell as the side of the ship.In 1780 this was abolished on British ships by the Navy Board,to ensured that most of the weight born by the ship was as near to the centre as possible.
