In heavier carvel work, the joint would be a butt, riveted to a butt strap.

The engine's boiler barrel setions were not arranged telescopically, but were jointed end-to-end with butt straps.

Trims to be fixed with large head galvanised nails at 150mm centres, joined with butt straps and taped with Flexi-Resin system.

Below is a picture of the dimensions of the butt strap (I'll call it the landing from now on) drawn on the floor panel prior to cutting.

Again the planking is supported by stringers and frames but this time the planking is sheets of plywood joined by either butt straps or scarfs joins.

In a riveted steel ship, the strakes were usually lapped and joggled, but where a smoother finish was sought, they too might be riveted on a butt strap, though this was weaker.
