  • A lot of the sail ships used on inland waters here have flat bottoms, like for instance the skûtsje. So they can sail in quite shallow waters.

    [edit] I’ve looked it up and for instance a tjalk (historic freight ship) can have a mast height of around 20-25 meters, but has a sailing depth of only 80-200 cm. Due to their flat bottoms, they can easily move around the inland lakes and canals, which are often only a few meters deep.
