Lapstrake And here I am faking real boat building techniques. I made a trip to the Center for Wooden boats for inspiration about the look of the lapstrake planking. The hardest part was getting both sides to match in apperance. The gray stripe in the lower section of the bow is a piece of perforated metal sheet. This is where the operator views the world. Once the boat is painted, the audience will never see that it's a different material.
