Norwegian term or phrase: utrigger/bom
Kva heiter dei utstikkarane (utrigger/fortøyningsbom) som deler ein båtmolo inn i "båsar" som utgjer ein eller fleire båtplassar?

Forstår at både utrigger og outrigger kan brukast om ein type kano, men kan det brukast om ein del av ein molo òg? Det ser ikkje heilt slik ut? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outrigger
