Summary edit

Description
English: This is a wooden rowboat from Vágur, Suðuroy, Faroe Islands. Sámal Hansen, boat builder built it in 2003. The boat belongs to Vágs Kappróðrarfelag (The Rowing Club of Vágur). It has the same name as the ferry, which sails on the route Suðuroy - Tórshavn. Smyril is the Faroese word for the bird Merlin. This is a so-called 6-mannafar. 6 people are rowing the boat and one is steering to rowing competitions, just like the 5-mannafør. In 8-mannafør 8 people are rowing and in 10-mannafør 10 people are rowing. The competitions are split into boys and girl, men and women. The larger boats, the 8 and 10-mannafør is only for men. Children are also rowing in the 5-mannafør boats.
Føroyskt: Smyril er 6-mannafar úr Vági. Sámal Hansen, bátabyggjari bygdi henda Smyril í 2003.
Dansk: Denne båd er en færøsk robåd fra bygden Vágur på Suderø (Suðuroy), Færøerne. Båden blev bygget af bådebygger Sámal Hansen i 2003. Her står båden på bådebroen "Á Gørðunum" i Vágur efter at unge mænd fra bygden har øvet med at ro på fjorden. Båden har samme navn som færgen Smyril M/F som sejler på ruten mellem Suðuroy og Tórshavn.
