Question 1921 Deck Safety
70% to passAnother name for the garboard strake is the _______________.
A
stringer plate
B
Z strake
C
side keel plate
D
A strake
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) A strake. The garboard strake is the first strake (or plank) on the hull of a boat, running along the keel. It is also commonly referred to as the "A strake" as it is the first strake from the keel. The other answer choices are not accurate terms for the garboard strake. Stringer plates, Z strakes, and side keel plates are different components of a boat's structure, but do not refer specifically to the garboard strake. The garboard strake is a well-established term in boat construction and is the correct answer for this question on the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examination.
