However in fairness these picture show both types Dave , but the Douro type are the only " Clinter " type where the other are as you say "Clinker" design and not the true Douro Port delivery style boats
I took the reference "but the Douro type are the only 'Clinter' type" to mean that a/the boat named "Douro Vintage" P-243-AL would be a 'Douro type' with that name - result:- wot-ah-mistake-ah-to-make-ah
It appears that the boat P-74-AL is however the real thing with as one site puts it:-
"As a mountain riverboat, the Rabelo has no keel, it is flat-bottomed and measures between 19 and 23 meters long. From the way it is built, using superimposed crunched planks, specialists concluded it was inspired by Nordic models, contrasting with Mediterranean vessels.
