| Caorlina | |
| The caorlina was a boat used for transport and fishing; it was about 10 metres long with symmetrical, crescent-shaped bow and stern. Modern versions are used only for show or for regattas for six oarsmen. This and other cargo boats used a special type of forcola with three morsi aligned vertically which allowed the oarsman to maintain a comfortable position both when the boat was empty and when it was fully loaded. | |
