Jellore
Jellore is a traditional Sumatran sailing craft. These boats are long and narrow, and fitted with double outriggers that stands out considerable distance from the sides. Sometimes they only have one outrigger, which is alternately set in windward and leeward. These boats are rigged with tanja rig. When the sail is partly furled, the ends of the two booms curve downwardly and inserted into the floats of the outrigger.Haddon (1920). p. 83.

Sumatra
Sumatra is one of the Sunda Islands of western Indonesia. It is the largest island that is fully within Indonesian territory, as well as the sixth-largest island in the world at 473,481 km2 (182,812 mi.2), not including adjacent islands such as the Simeulue, Nias, Mentawai, Enggano, Riau Islands, Bangka Belitung and Krakatoa archipelago. Sumatra is an elongated landmass spanning a diagonal northwest–southeast axis. The Indian Ocean borders the northwest, west, and southwest coasts of Sumatra, with the island chain of Simeulue, Nias, Mentawai, and Enggano off the western coast. In the northeast, the narrow Strait of Malacca separates the island from the Malay Peninsula, which is an extension of the Eurasian continent. In the southeast, the narrow Sunda Strait, containing the Krakatoa Archipelago, separates Sumatra from Java. The northern tip of Sumatra is near the Andaman Islands, while off the southeastern coast lie the islands of Bangka and Belitung, Karim ...

Outrigger
An outrigger is a projecting structure on a boat, with specific meaning depending on types of vessel. Outriggers may also refer to legs on a wheeled vehicle that are folded out when it needs stabilization, for example on a crane that lifts heavy loads. Powered vessels and sailboats An outrigger describes any contraposing float rigging beyond the side (gunwale) of a boat to improve the vessel's stability. If a single outrigger is used it is usually but not always windward. The technology was originally developed by the Austronesian people. There are two main types of boats with outriggers: double outriggers (prevalent in maritime Southeast Asia) and single outriggers (prevalent in Madagascar, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia). Multihull ships are also derived from outrigger boats. In an outrigger canoe and in sailboats such as the proa, an outrigger is a thin, long, solid, hull used to stabilise an inherently unstable main hull. The outrigger is positioned rigidly and ...

Windward And Leeward
Windward () and leeward () are terms used to describe the direction of the wind. Windward is ''upwind'' from the point of reference, i.e. towards the direction from which the wind is coming; leeward is ''downwind'' from the point of reference, i.e. along the direction towards which the wind is going. The side of a ship that is towards the leeward is its "lee side". If the vessel is heeling under the pressure of crosswind, the lee side will be the "lower side". During the Age of Sail, the term ''weather'' was used as a synonym for ''windward'' in some contexts, as in the ''weather gage''. Because it captures rain, the windward side of a mountain tends to be wet compared to the leeward it blocks. Origin The term "lee" comes from the middle-low German word // meaning "where the sea is not exposed to the wind" or "mild". The terms Luv and Lee (engl. Windward and Leeward) have been in use since the 17th century. Usage Windward and leeward directions (and the points ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tanja Sail
Tanja sail (Malay language, Malay: ''layar tanjak'') or tanja rig is a type of sail commonly used by the Austronesian peoples, Austronesian people, particularly in Maritime Southeast Asia. It is also known as the tilted square sail, canted rectangular sail, rectangular balance lug, or Lug sail#Types, balance lug sail in English.Needham, Joseph (1971). ''Science and Civilisation in China: Volume 4, Physics and Physical Technology, Part III: Civil Engineering and Nautics''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. In historical sources, tanja sail is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Lateen Sail, lateen sail or simply square sail. Etymology Also called tanjaq, tanjak, tanja', tanjong, or tanjung sail. The Mandar people call it ''sombal tanjaq'' because when the wind blows the lower part of the sail (''peloang'') would "''mattanjaq''" (lit. "kick"). In colonial British records, it is sometimes written as "lyre ''tanjong''", a misspelling of ''layar tanjong'' (''layar'' means "sail" ...

Paduwang
Paduwang (also known as bedouang) is a traditional double- outrigger vessel from Madura, Indonesia. It is built with planks instead of single log, and used for fishing, trading and transport of people and goods near Madura island. In the 19th century, Paduwang was a popular fishing craft in East Java. Etymology According to Horridge, the word “''paduwang''” have its roots from word ''wa'', ''wangka'', ''waga'', ''wangga'', and ''bangka'' of Austronesian languages. The term is associated with outrigger perahu or small perahu. The name ''bedouang'' is used by western observer such as admiral François-Edmond Pâris, possibly a mispronunciation of the name. Description Paduwang had two short masts, one is on the bow and the other is about 1/3 of the length behind. The rigging is using lete rig, which has upper yard (called ''pebahu'') and lower yard (''pekaki''). ''Pebahu'' is always supported by bamboo support pole (called ''sokong'' or ''supak''). The foresail is mounted on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Knabat Bogolu
Knabat bogolu is a type of traditional war vessel from Mentawai islands, west Sumatra, Indonesia. Background This vessel is shaped like a kora kora, but with different outrigger boom placement. Like kora kora, it also has deckhouse at the center of the hull. It has two main booms which slope down to the float ('' katir'' in Malay language) and each has an accessory boom.Haddon (1920). p.78. A boom-spar is located above the vessel, one end of which rests on the roof.Haddon (1920). p.74. The float (''katir'') is double on each side. It has two masts, each rigged with narrow, very high sails from bamboo and palm leaf.Nooteboom (1932). p. 64. The stern of the vessel is more highly arched than the bow. Both the bow and the stern had decorative tufts and ropes. The roofing is solid through the entire length, about 30–40 ft (9.1–12.2 m) long. At the bottom of this shelter weapons and food are stored in the hold of the vessel. When going to war it will be stocked full of provision ...

Sampan Panjang
Sampan panjang was a type of Malay fast boat from the 19th century. It was used especially by the sampan-men, or "Orang Laut" (lit. "sea people"). Historically, they can be found in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. This type of boat was used by Malay people as racing boat and as transport boat. The sampan panjang appeared at the first quarter of the 19th century, and disappeared at the turn of that century. These boats proved to be superior than European boats in racing purposes; they were easy winners when racing against the European yachts of that time. Etymology The name sampan panjang comes from the Malay words ''sampan'', meaning boat, which in turn derived from Chinese dialectal sam-pan or san-pan, and ''panjang'', meaning long; thus, the name means "long boat". It is also called perahu panjang, since the words ''sampan'' and ''perahu'' in Malay language are synonymous. History The first record of sampan panjangs comes from Singapore Chronicle for Thursday, 15 May 1834. I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jongkong
A jongkong is a type of dugout canoe from Maritime Southeast Asia. ''Jongkong'' was the simplest boat from Riau-Lingga area, and can be found widely though in small numbers throughout the area. The first record of ''jongkong'' comes from the Malay Annals (which was composed no earlier than the 17th century AD), being used by Majapahit empire during the first Majapahit attack on Singapura (1350) and during the fall of Singapura (1398).Nugroho (2011), p. 271, 399–400, quoting ''Sejarah Melayu'', 10.4: 77: "... ''maka bagindapun segera menyuruh berlengkap tiga ratus buah jung, lain dari pada itu kelulus, pelang, jongkong, tiada terbilang lagi''." (then His Majesty immediately ordered to equip three hundred jong, other than that kelulus, pelang, jongkong in uncountable numbers.) Etymology The name comes from two words, that is ''jong'' and ''kong'' or ''jegong''. ''Jong'' means a boat or sampan, no matter large or small, while ''kong'' or ''jegong'' is the place where masts are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Multihulls
A multihull is a boat or ship with more than one hull, whereas a vessel with a single hull is a monohull. The most common multihulls are catamarans (with two hulls), and trimarans (with three hulls). There are other types, with four or more hulls, but such examples are very rare and tend to be specialised for particular functions. Sailing multihulls Counter-intuitively, it is unhelpful to think of the design progression to be "1-2-3", namely monohull - catamaran - trimaran; rather, it is "1-3-2". A sailing trimaran is, in effect, a modified monohull with lightweight outrigger hulls (or "amas") for stability instead of a heavy deep keel; so it follows that a sailing trimaran will be lighter and faster than a sailing monohull. A sailing trimaran will have a centre hull that may comprise up to 90% of total hull volume, and 95% of total deadweight. A sailing trimaran at rest will have both amas out of the water and, when heeled, will only ever have one of the amas immersed. As ...
