The wood will die at each of the "noble"
fittings, i.e. at each spot where you want the wood to be extra strong...
Where the wooden structure holds the struts, the stuffing box, the
rudder bearings, etc. the wood will turn to mush!
On a wood boat, each of the underwater metals should have its own
separate zinc for protection.
