The pasara is the most common type of small boat in our harbours, recognisable by its flat stern (transom). This form with a slightly wider stern makes the boat more practical, both for transporting cargo and people, and for fishing. Depending on the area in which the boat was built and its intended purpose, its appearance has changed, and its functionality has been adjusted. The bow of the pasara can be built in several ways: almost the same as that of a guc, i.e. sharp, but also with a fuller form with a rounded caprail line and a stem inclined forward to a greater or lesser degree. Some bows protrude more in the upper part. A pasara could be without a deck or partially decked. Smaller pasara boats were initially powered by oar, and larger ones by sail. Later on, they were powered by engine, which is why the stern line assumed a fuller form. Larger pasara boats were built with cabins, and later on with a superstructure of standing height, with berths in the bow, and even with a small kitchen. All the traditional pasara boats presented here, moored in Punat harbour, are made of wood and partially decked (up to approximately a third of their length), have medium-full bow forms, and are equipped with traditional rigging. The pasara IVAN PN 37 is 4.87 m long and 1.68 m wide. It was built in 1939 at the Cres shipyard in Cres. The owner of the boat is Tomislav Franolić. The pasara TRI SESTRICE (THREE SISTERS) PN 1705 is 4.40 m long and 1.58 m wide. It was built by shipbuilder Ivan Vranić in 1951 in Kostrena. The owner of the boat is the Sjeverni Jadran (Northern Adriatic) Association. The pasara PN 69 is 5.59 m long and 1.94 m wide. It was built in 1964 at the Lošinj shipyard in Mali Lošinj. The owner of the boat is Petar Kopanica. Since 2015, Punat during the traditional “FISHERMEN’S DAYS” event has hosted a regatta of traditional wooden boats called BURTIŽANJE, at which these pasara boats participate. The 2017 BURTIŽANJE marked the 90th anniversary of the first regatta of traditional wooden boats in Puntarska Draga in 1927.
