Norwegian term or phrase: spordfestet
Could someone help me to translate spordfest? Obviously it is some part of the fishing boat but I am not able to find any English translation. Thanks for your help!

Fisk som er utsortert til henging skal skylles grundig i rent vann, før to og to jevnstore fisker bindes sammen med for eksempel sperregarn over spordfestet

English translation:base of the tail
Explanation:
'Tis not the boat but the catch that's in question here. "Spord" is a word for a fish tail. Your sentence involves the method for producing tørrfisk/stockfish.

See the first link at page 3 for this:

"Fisken til tørrfiskproduksjonen ble lagret i kort tid etter mottak før den ble sperret, det vil si at to hvitfisker med lik størrelse ble bundet sammen med et sperregarn i spordfestet."

See the second link for this:

"Sperregarn er de små trådløkkene som brukes for å hekte sammen to fisker i sporen slik at de kan henges til tørk på fiskehjellen."

In other words, they'e hung by loops that fit around the base of the tail.
