Thanks!

I’m not sure exactly what kind of boat a “jolle” is in Danish. In Norwegian it would be either a small sailboat (as in can be sailed by one or a few people) or a small “companion” boat for a bigger boat (ie. lifeboat kind of thing). In this context, I’d guess it’s a sailboat.

hildea is absolutely right, “jolle” in this context means a small sailboat - I think (but I know damn little of sailing) that the English word “dinghy” is used to describe this sort of vessel.

hildea, thanks so much for your help!

I travelled by train once beside the Oslo Fjord to Oslo. So beautiful! Next time I want to take the train from Oslo to Bergen.

Anyway, welcome to SDMB! Have fun!
