| Summary: | punt n The smallest and most commonly used boat [in Bonavista Bay] was the 'punt' or 'rodney'. It was versatile and seaworthy. It varied in length from fourteen to eighteen feet, was narrow in pro- portion to its length, had a higher counter that created very little drag and was generally streamlined at the water-line. Consequently it could sail very well before or across the wind and could be rowed with a minimum of effort. PRINTED ITEM DNE Sup [Add to DNE punt n 1, to 1975 cite] G. M.
