That's sorta my point. In this particular case, "Nav" doesn't either.

These days "Millionaire" doesn't mean much.

The lady plainly stated she looks like she needs to

(which is a good thing, btw- thin is sexy)

Now, stop harassing her and go get a life you
worthless little PUTZ!

How refreshing! A man with reading comprehension and a sense of honor. I'm
impressed! ;-)

Careful LP.

Yes, I'd say the meaning of Gar is central. The question is, what language?

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.

I don't think so.

hmmm,
does 'gar' refer to some heat treatment done to help shape the board?

Why is the garboard strake so called?

I expected better than this from you. I wonder if it's worth the effort
of getting out the filleting knife again.

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

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

An idea but I don't think that's likely.

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???
