Hekk / en = Counter / the
Kutter = C
ounter stern (often plumb/straight stem)

Redningsskøyte = Rescue boat
Lystbåt = Yacht
Sjekte = Small double ender, open or halfdecker

Please ask for any other words you need to have translated.

If you own or know of a Colin Archer that is not on my list, please let me know.

I have now also made a list  of all boats that Colin Archer built and the boats that he designed for other yards.
This list I believe is near complete. However, you will see that for most boats, fate are unknown. So if you have any information on a boat, please let me know.
