D'oh, thought it was a rugby reference.
Finally feel like I'm getting somewhere. It's only taken 6 years.

Re: Hookers!
A great video.
Wooden Boat magazine http://www.woodenboat.com had a great article on a Galway hooker that had been brought to the US twenty or thirty years ago, and was sent back to Ireland to be rebuilt. The stem on these boats have forefoot (the part of the bow where the line of the hull turns back toward the keel) like a battleaxe. Heavily timbered boats with a great spread of sail. They were built as shallow draft open-water working boats for lobstering.

I teleported home one night
With Ron and Sid and Meg.
Ron stole Meggie's heart away
And I got Sidney's leg.

Re: Hookers!
Certainly many were designed for lobstering. There were a slew of hookers of all kinds of sizes and shapes up and down the west coast. The bigger boats were fin fishers, back in the old days a single haileabó, hailbut, could be hundreds of pounds and as long as a small boat. Larger hookers were also used to transport goods along the coast.daveboling wrote: They were built as shallow draft open-water working boats for lobstering.

Re: Hookers!
I wonder if you could catch crabs on a hooker as well... ?
There's and old Irish saying that says pretty much anything you want it to.
