 used in the surf on the sandbanks because she is flat-bottomed, and passes more easily over 

 the outer sands. At the same time there is no difference between the poop and stem which 

 makes turning needless, and thus lessens the chance of capsizing. Instead of turning, the 

 boat goes astern while very oarsman takes the seat of the man before him and keeps his <>\vu 

 oar. The boat is provided with boards for victuals, marked A and B. ^th of the real size,
