This marina in Stavern in southern Norway is for wooden boats only. In Norwegian we have at least three words for them (sjekte, snekke, kogg), but in English they apparently have no name. Google Translate suggested "snail", "conch", "shark", among others. 😉

All photos were taken with M10 and 35mm Summilux v2.

Beautiful!

The English word 'shell' refers to a long slim racing boat: those now typically used in rowing sports. They might have evolved from fatter, but still slim boats like this built for speed. I'm guessing though.

We have just returned from a holiday in Shetland where the traditional small boat also has a pointed stern, often with a cut-out in one side of the hull for a steering oar. Given the links between Shetland and Scandinavia they designs are probably related. These look like they have a proper central rudder, though.
