Single-levelled to the left. Low flat hull, massive triangular bow with concave stempost integrating an exaggeratedly long bow projection and ending in a short protrusion slightly inclined forward. There is a single short plank protruding from the stempost. It is on the same level as a reserved line which runs the length of the hull, starting below the forecastle, and filled with a line of dots. The occulus is made up of a small reserved circle within a larger one (fish eye type). There are four remaining rowers facing right, their torsos inclined slightly forward, grasping at their oars with both hands.
