pikkulaiva
Pikkulaiva is a Finnish term that translates literally to "little boat." It generally refers to small, recreational vessels, often used for fishing, leisurely cruising, or as tenders for larger boats. The size and type of pikkulaiva can vary widely, encompassing anything from small rowboats and canoes to small motorboats and sailboats. They are a common sight in Finland's many lakes and coastal areas, facilitating access to waters where larger vessels might be impractical or unnecessary.
The construction of pikkulaivas can range from traditional wooden craftsmanship to modern fiberglass and aluminum designs.
