Short description: Maltese traditional fishing boat
The frejgatina (plural frejgatini) is a traditional fishing boat from Malta, its name meaning "little frigate."[1] It is a small, carvel-built rowing boat. It is generally only used to move from the shore to a larger boat anchored offshore.[2]
It is transom-sterned, open, and steered with two oars, although some modern boats have engines attached, to move the boat and/or operate the winch. [3] Some modern frejgatini are made with fibreglass instead of wood.[4]
Since 1935 frejgatini have raced in the annual Victory Day regatta.[5][4]
