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”.
