Which constraint on ship construction affects the strength using clinker planking?

💡 Explanation

Plank overlap demands careful fastener placement due to sheer stress distribution during wave impacts; fastener failure weakens clinker planking cohesion through shear stress overload, rather than keel hogging, because this specific architecture uses overlapping edges.
