thumb|200px|right|Bragozzo at Naval Museum of Cesenatico A bragozzo (Croatian, Slovene: bragoc) was a type of wooden sailing boat from the Adriatic, very often used for fishing in the Istria and Kvarner gulfs. A typical crew was two or three men.
== Description == The hull of a bragozzo was wide, and it had no keel, instead having a flat bottom, below which was a large rudder. Because of this, it had a very shallow draft. The general shape of the boat began in a narrow bow which spread back towards a wide stern, with the final shape at the rear being rectangular. Its frame was generally made of oak while the planking was pine. The deck itself had a low railing.
