The boat has two pairs of oars and is very easy to row.
It is perfect for a trip on the water with the family for afternoon coffee.

The Faeroese boat was developed for use on the North Atlantic. A safe boat that can be used in all types of weather.
An ottemannarfar is a perfect size for boat societies, schools, sea scouts etc.
The Ottemanafar can be rigged with either a square sail or the traditional Faeroese rig: A lugsail in front and a mizzen sail, spritsail aft.
Here the boat is out in fresh weather, so they have trimmed the mizzen sail.
