you'd think someone could have staggered the butts on those new planks
Obviously done by a landlubber, a shipwright or fishermen would have known the keep the integral strength of a vessel the butts have to be staggered by a certain offset. It's the same in in steel vessels. 
too easy, wouldn't be fair, i'll keep it in my head
The owner in this one was involved in a ten hour siege on Friday apparently due to his duck dying according to the Sunday Mail today

A man has been arrested after allegedly threatening to blow himself up in a nine-hour stand-off with police.
The 49-year-old took to a small boat off the remote island of Raasay, off Skye, early on Friday morning.
Police, the Portree lifeboat and firefighters were called to the scene, with trained negotiators being called in.
The man gave himself up around 6.40pm.
Northern Constabulary said local officers carried out initial negotiations until fully trained police negotiations attended. Three negotiators attempted to resolve the situation peacefully. "There was no one else aboard the vessel and there was no risk of danger to any other members of the public," said a police spokesman.
The lifeboat - with six crew aboard - launched at 10.35am and stood by as the police negotiated with the man.
"As there was a possibility that the vessel would go on fire, Portree Fire Brigade were also called to the scene," said a spokesman for the lifeboat. "Portree Lifeboat remained in attendance all day as police negotiators sought to resolve the incident. The lifeboat was eventually stood down at 7.30pn and returned to Portree while the police continued their inquiries."
The island of Raasay is home to just 150 people.
A police spokesman said a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal

How the death of a goose called Duck sparked a 10 hour stand-off
Apr 4 2010 Jim Lawson ; Derek Alexander, Sunday Mail
A DISTRAUGHT Frenchman sparked a bizarre 10-hour stand-off with island cops after the death of a pet goose named Duck.
It is claimed Louis Appert doused himself in petrol and headed out in his boat, threatening to set himself on fire.
The incident came after he found the body of Duck, months after the bird was accused of attacking islanders on Raasay in the Hebrides.
Appert allegedly took his vessel - which he bought on eBay for s5 and lives on - out 30 yards from the coast of Churchton Bay on the island on Friday morning.
Northern Constabulary drafted in trained police negotiators to convince Appert to give himself up.
The fire brigade and Portree Lifeboat from neighbouring Skye also attended the incident, which began at 9.15am.
Appert eventually handed himself over to police at 5.45pm and was taken into custody after being examined by a doctor.
He appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court yesterday charged in connection with the incident and volunteered to go into a psychiatric hospital until his next court appearance.
Simon Crabb, prosecuting, told the court Appert has suffered from bi-polar disorder for 15 years but had been treated in the community with medication for the past three years.
The fiscal added the loss of his pet may have contributed to his alleged behaviour.
The case was continued without plea until Friday at Inverness.
Appert is facing several charges in connection with Friday's events.
It is claimed that he conducted himself in a disorderly manner on his boat and shouted, swore and threatened to blow up the vessel.
It is also alleged he brandished a gas cylinder and fuel cans, threw lumps of wood at police, repeatedly bared his buttocks and indicated that he had doused himself in fuel and would set himself alight.
He is also charged with brandishing a knife and a home-made petrol bomb and committing a breach of the peace.
When previously asked why he called his goose Duck, Appert said: "Why not? It is easy to shout when it is time for his food."
