Description
“Gamellas†are, along with “dornasâ€, the most emblematic of the popular Galician embarkations. With snubbed bow and stern and a flat bottom they can be either rowed or sailed. Completely built in pine they were traditionally painted red, using a mixture that served as both careening and paint. Nowadays they can be found painted in a variety of bright and cheerful colors. The name comes from the “gamellaâ€, i.e. trough or basin, used for feeding animals. The “Carmiña†is outstanding above all because of the ease with which she can be brought on shore and her dimensions, with a length of over 16 feet and a beam of about 6. For anchoring the traditional “poutadasâ€, or rocks, are still used.
