No idea what it is but thought you like things like this. Taken at Rahja harbour.

It's lovely.
Fiskari I believe.
There is a long and illustrious history of translating Finnish words into English, many dictionaries have been produced.
It's quite a complex thing to work out the exact translation but if you do the research and some study you can drill down to the detail. However you often find several words which could be suitable.
Having done this research and asked several experts I have whittled it down to one word.
Firewood.

that's a lovely shaped hull ..... It looks a bit like some Norwegian hulls, I wonder if it is a specific Baltic type edit .... not firewood

It's a fiskari innit
Seems to mean "fishing boat" but I think it transfers to pleasure vessels
They do make some seriously pretty boats in Finland .

It's sad to see how absolutely neglected the boats are in many harbours here in Finland. Yet, because Finns are money-grabbing bastards, they'd want a fortune if you asked "How much?". Such a shame to see such waste.

Such a shame to see such waste. Not just in Finland. I have never failed to be surprised at the value some people will put on their pride and joy, unable to see it is a rusty, sinking derelict.

I got some 'footage' for my next YouTube video, so am pleased with our effort to drive all that way. I still need more footage, might take another 2-3 weeks at this rate. I have 2 pieces of music in mind, depending on what I get will determine which piece of music I'll use. I think we are lucky to have unrestricted lives at the moment - petrol available, food available, toilet paper available, nice warm house (thanks to our firewood-gathering efforts), sauna and beer. And I don't have to wake up at 0520 any more to go to work.

I was just wondering if it was in some far flung location as it looks very English.
I wouldn't want it but am intrigued by it.
I'm not particularly au fait with identifying these tugs but the chimney decoration looks to be a clue.
I wondered if Ben on The Liquid Highway might like the picture.
