cuddy

Boat's small room

A cuddy is a small cabin or enclosed space on a boat, typically in the bow, providing shelter or storage.

The term appears most often in cuddy cabin, describing small motorboats with a covered forward compartment—not quite a full cabin cruiser but offering protection from weather.

In Scottish and Northern English dialects, cuddy is also an affectionate or diminutive term for a donkey or horse.
