Tjotter
Die kleinsten der friesischen Plattboden, wobei es einem Nicht-Friesen, der sich die Materie lediglich anliest, schon sehr schwer fällt, bei den vielen Typen dann auch Grenzen zu ziehen oder auch überhaupt zu sehen.

Tjotter sind in der Länge von ca. 3,60-max 5,00m.

A tjotter is the smallest of the open round Fries sailing ships with a length on the stern exceeding 5.4 m.

The ship has no roundwood and it has a wide helm. The head of the rudder is usually decorated with a sculpture, sometimes in the form of a bird.

Originally, the tjotter was used in Friesland for small-scale transport of goods and people at a time that there were only few roads. A tjotter with the size 4.8 m x 2.4 m in Friesland is called a fjouwer-yacht. At the wharf of Pier Piersma, fjouwer-yachts are still commonly built.
