THE “BLAZER”.
Since the end of the XIXth century, the “Botters” have been built bigger and more bluff, the result being the Blazer type, of which the curved stem falls in less and of which the stern is fuller than that of the “Botter”. This kind of boat is used for fishing in the North Sea and is found all along our shores.
“Blazers” are now built with a “Boeier” stern, giving a mixed type: the Blazerboeier. This boat, by reason of its great stability, will soon take the place of the “Schokkers” and the “Botters”.
