Sixareen
The sixareen or sixern (Old Norse: sexæringr; Norwegian: seksring meaning "six-oared") is a traditional fishing boat used around the Shetland Islands.[1] It is a clinker-built boat, evolved as a larger version of the yoal, when the need arose for crews to fish further from shore.The reebin was additionally strengthened by the breast hook or hinny spot where it met the horn at the top of the stem.With the help of a group of volunteers, after 800 hours work, the Far Haaf, a replica sixareen was completed in 1988, but was destroyed by a hurricane which swept the isles in 1992.Another sixareen, the Vaila Mae, was built in 2008 for the Shetland Museum in Lerwick, where it can be seen on the water during the summer months.
