1905Rudder Feb. 62/2 There is one institution on the St. Lawrence which, it is believed, is peculiar to it and but little known of elsewhere; the ‘squat board’. This is an appendage in the form of a horizontal plane attached to the stern. 1953M. V. Brewington Chesapeake Bay: Pictorial Maritime Hist. vi. 167 The stern settled so badly when underway ‘squatboards’ were necessary. 1955J.-O. Traung Fishing Boats of World I. 8/2 To overcome the resulting ‘squatting’ or settling aft, ‘squatboards’ have been added.
