The Visørima is the ship most commonly used by the Sigjarir of Sigjariahlæm for fishing, raiding and trading. With a single masted and double masted variant existing.

== Construction ==
Typically constructed out of whale bones, visørima are usually built shell-first with overlapping planks. Iron rivets and brackets, as well as smaller bones, were used to fasten the planks to each other. Ribs were inserted into the hull once the shell of planking was assembled. They are flat-bottomed and clinker built.
The typically keel length of a visørima was about 10–25 meters (about 30–70 feet). With a width up to 5-8 m, and draft between 2-5 m. It has 13 combination ribs, each consisting of several details. The keel was also a combination of several parts. Bulkheads divided the body into several cross-section compartments. Each compartment served a specific purpose: the fore-part compartment used as the crew's quarters, the stern cabin for the captain, and the cargo hold amidships. A visørima has a flat deck and typically carried one square sail on one mast, although larger two mast variants are in use. A distinctive peculiarity of a visørima was the relatively big size of its square rudder fin which compensated for the special extra-slim design of the upper part of the rudder. A visørima has two 70 pounds (32 kg) main anchors and, very often, light anchors that are used for mooring visørima to the edge of the ice fields.
Special Sigjarir design features included the rounded lines of the ship's body below the water line, an additional belt of ice-floe resistant flush skin-planking along the variable water-line, a false keel for on-ice portage (and for damage prevention from running aground in shallow waters), and the shaft-like upper part and wide lower part (below water-line) of the rudder. Another feature was the invariable presence aboard any koch of two or more iceboats and of a windlass with anchor rope. Each iceboat had the cargo capacity of 1.5 to 2.0 metric tons (3,300 to 4,400 lb) and was equipped with long runners (5 to 7 m or 16 to 23 ft) for portage on ice. If a visørima became trapped in the ice, its rounded bodylines below the water-line would allow for the ship, squeezed by the ice-fields, to be pushed up out of the water and onto the ice with no damage to the body.
