Rectangular flat otter board. This is the widely used otter board for bottom trawling … The board is assembled by joining planks [of hard wood] and fixing them together with long bolts or mild steel straps. A wide metallic shoe is used to prevent digging into the mud and is rounded off at the leading edge so that it can ride over obstructions. … these boards are hydrodynamically not very efficient and also not suitable for rough grounds as they [cannot] slide over obstacles.
