  A fishing boat of clinker-built pine with a live fish storage compartment that is open to the water.

  The Hedelin family built 16 and 17 foot rowing boats of this type for several generations. The "Hedelin sump" was a well known type of boat in the Stockholm archipelago.

  The 17-footers were sometimes equipped with a small inboard; this was unnecessary in the 16-footer since it was so easy to row.

  The boats could also be rigged with a simple sprit or lugsail. The oars were always placed in locks.

  Släkten Hedelin byggde under flera generationer 16- och 17-fots roddsumpar. "Hedelinsumpar" blev ett känt begrepp. Ibland försågs 17-fotaren med en liten inombordsmotor, något som inte behövdes på 16-fotaren eftersom den var så lättrodd. Sumparna kunde även riggas med ett enkelt spri- eller loggertsegel. Årorna placerades alltid i håar.
