A Viking longship, displaying the overlapping planks that characterize clinker construction. Clinker -built (also known as lapstrake) [1] [2] is a method of boat building in which the edges of hull planks overlap each other. Where necessary in larger craft, shorter planks can be joined end to end, creating a longer strake or hull plank.

The garboard strakes are the two immediately adjacent to the keel on each side.
