A stake by the way ...... it's the name given to the lines of planking (or plates on a steel boat) that run the length of the hull
Strake ...... dammit spellnig !!!

Chines are sacrificial pieces of steel welded onto the stern at right angles to the hull beneath the waterline which take the brunt of the collision when you clout something with the arse end of the boat. Was this intended as a joke? It's completely incorrect and is likely to just confuse. That's how the surveyor explained it to me, although I accept that he may have been wrong.

As Iconoclast says on narrow boats the flat bottom is extended beyond the joint with the sides to give a sacrificial edge that protects the welded joint That is a good explanation of a 'sacrificial edge' but has nothing to do with 'chine'.

It's often referred to as a sacrificial chine

It is sacrificial chine protection. Yes, but OP was asking for the definition of a 'chine'. A chine is a change of angle. Whether or not it has a sacrificial edge does not help the definition, does it?

Almost but not quite. Usually the base plate is left slightly wider than the bottom of the hull, leaving a sacrificial edge to protect the chine. If that edge gets worn away then extra steel can be welded on to continue to offer protection. It's all the way down the side of the boat, not just at the stern.

Not sure if I've understood it correctly, but this is what my survey says...
