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.
