frankwil Posted November 5, 2018 #1 Posted November 5, 2018 Is it an acceptable practice to make a garboard strake for one side, and trace/duplicate the same to flip over and use on the other side of the keel?

russ Posted November 5, 2018 #2 Posted November 5, 2018 Ideally, that would be the way to do it. However, please check the other side against your pattern to make sure it is exactly the same. It would not be unusual for there to be some differences from starboard to port. If your garboard pattern works for both sides, you are doing excellent work.

frankwil Posted November 5, 2018 Author #3 Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks Russ. I have temporary battens on both sides to measure for the GB, so it should be easy enough to verify.
