Just a bit confused here. What are you calling a "stabilizing strake"? Not a term I am familiar with.

I was wondering if the reference was to the large strap that was fitted to the outside of the hull on top of the sheerstrake. I always thought it was to add longitudinal strength.

bryan
are you maybe getting mixed up with a type 42 batch 3 destroyer
that has a strenthener fixed at about deck level runing about 3/4
the length of the ship. The Type 22 does not have these
I put a link to some pics where you can see what I mean

Hi Dan
I am pretty sure you are talking about the bilge keels. On my Type 22 I cut a slot with a cutting disc and epoxied an aluminium plate into the slot. Then I put P38 around the plate and sanded it to the wedge shape. This takes quite a few goes.
