Bob: I'm not saying it's wrong, just asking what information you based it on.

I't's called Anchor-stock because the shape of the plank resembles a wooden anchor stock. In that case, it would be equal on both sides, but as far as I can remember all the examples I've seen have been of unequal lengths.

Thanks Arthur,
I see it but i don't see it. What I mean in both pictures the wales looks the same width. So if your missing a strake Bob what is taking up the space for that strake that is missing??? I hope you understand my question.

As it turns out, the wales on the starboard side were mounted too low, causing the planking to be off by one row on that side. I've almost compled the starboard planking and wales have been removed so I can do this correctly. Films at 11:00.

I was wondering where the name came from. Always learning something new on this site. Thanks Arthur for looking on my TRITON and for the definition of anchor stock planking. You are the best, my friend. Now, would you like to come over to my house and help me fix this mess? Beers are on me.
