Akterpisk
Akterpisk, also known as the Akterpisker, is a traditional Dutch sailing vessel that was commonly used for coastal trade and fishing in the Netherlands and Belgium. The term "Akterpisk" translates to "afterdeck" in English, referring to the stern deck of the ship. These vessels were typically small to medium-sized, with a length ranging from 15 to 30 meters, and were designed for maneuverability and stability in shallow waters.
The Akterpisker was characterized by its square-rigged sails, which allowed it to sail close to the wind
Akterpiskers were typically powered by a single sail, with a crew of 4 to 12 people. They
