llaut (leave it in the original) Explanation: This is a typical sort of boat. "Llaüt" means "lute" (Span. "laúd"). I'd rather keep it in the Catalan original. Similar to the case of the Basque "trainera"... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2007-09-06 22:01:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And regarding the umlaut, although it's part of the Catalan original, maybe you could leave them apart to ease the reading. |

felucca Explanation: In my Catalan-Dutch dictionary 'llaüt' is translated as 'feloek', in French 'félouque'. Following this line I found a page in English in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felucca) explaining which kind of boat this is complete with photo. They use the term 'felucca'. Hope this helps. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felucca |

chalupa Explanation: I think they keep the Spanish name: chalupa. You can check www.termcat.cat for the equivalent in Spanish A couple of examples in English: 1) "One of the small craft, an eight-metre whaling chalupa was found pinned beneath the collapsed starboard side of a 200-tonelada whaling vessel. The chalupa was excavated and meticulously recorded prior to its complete disassembly, recovery, conservation and re-assembly. Its 400 plus-year old remains are highly valued for the following reasons: (...)" from http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/nl/redbay/natcul/basque_e.asp 2) "there are three ways to get across - "johnson" named for the motor on the back, chalupa, a small passenger boat, and ferry. " from http://www.flickr.com/groups/worldwidewandering/discuss/7215... Sort! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2007-09-06 22:31:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Parrot, try "llagut" rather than "llaüt" "ca llagut, m ca muleta, f sin. compl. es chalupa Definicions ca: Bot de banc fix apte per a sis remers de punta i un timoner, amb el qual es disputen curses de rem, generalment, en mar oberta. Notes ca: Embarcació de rem de la Mediterrània, no reglamentada ni olímpica." There's this blog with photos and a short description. It may help. http://localaix.blogspot.com/2007/01/lo-llagut.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2007-09-07 00:19:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Parrot, See if this other link's useful: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/700969 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2007-09-07 00:21:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Found this one with "skiff" as mentioned in the lik above: "A llagut is a traditional kind of skiff used along the Catalan coast and crewed by six or eight oarsmen and a helm operator. Although originally associated with net fishing it is nowadays used for regattas with races of around 1000 m." from Forum 2004 http://www.barcelona2004.org/eng/eventos/deportes/ficha.cfm?... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 hrs (2007-09-07 16:08:50 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you Parrot. |
