A small number of schooners were also built at Winterton. These were used mainly for the coastal transportation of goods and fish as well as fishing off the Labrador coast.

This particular boat was built for P. Janes of Hant's Harbour in 1931. It was 70 tons gross and was the last schooner built by Amos Piercey of Winterton, who was seventy years old at the time.

The most popular small boat design today is the speedboat or flat, which has a wider, straighter, flat-bottom hull with a larger upright counter to accommodate an outboard motor. While the basic hull is a variation of the early punts the speedboat is considered by many to be less seaworthy.

In the second half of the twentieth century one or two longliners were built at Winterton. Built to fish further offshore, these were 35 to 40 feet in length, fully decked, and designed to handle more modern engines and newer fishing methods.
