It's the only term I know for the nautical usage (course, I'm, you know, ...). Is there a moderner term?

- The answer to your question depends on how you are using the term in context. If you are using it to describe the girth (space) between two length seams defined by streaks of chaulk on the frames of a carvel planked hull, you are in my opinion correct. If you are using it interchangeably with the term plank, you are incorrect archaically speaking and will be confused reading older texts. I am of the opinion that streak became strake, which became plank, so that we now (moderner) have the same meaning for two words. I prefer and do use plank when I am speaking of the wood that contains keeps the inside of the hull dry. When I am speaking of lining off the hull, use the term strake. — This unsigned comment was added by 96.244.241.220 (talk) at 07:43, 31 July 2012 (UTC).Reply
