I don't know what they are called, but I've been on two of them and
they are a very special type of boat.

That's a classic dutch cruising sailboat. Instead of having a keel or
centerboard, they have "lee boards", one on each side. They are also
distinguished by a rounded bow and a good deal of beaminess.
