Leti Leti
Leti leti is a type of traditional transport vessel from East Madura, Indonesia, especially from the administrative district of Sumenep. The leti leti is a recent development, the hull form and sail were developed in the 19th century. In 1979 sailing leti leti was numbered about 1000, but this was reduced in the next decades when more modern, motorized vessel appeared.Horridge (2015). p. 82. Etymology Leti leti is also known with other names and pronunciation, like leti-leti, letelete, lete lete, letek-letek, leteh-leteh, parao lete', and golekan lete. The origin of the name is unknown. In early 20th century the type was referred to in different publications as ''tekletek''. This is however the same name, with the first syllable dropped: 'le'''tek-letek'', as in 'a'''lisalis''. It may also possible that the name comes from the sail it used, the Madurese crab claw sail, or lete sail, which has just developed in the 19th century. In fact, the "lete" from lete sail is a local pronu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pencalang
Pencalang is a traditional merchant ship from Nusantara. Historically it was called as pantchiallang or pantjalang. It was originally built by Malay people from the area of Riau and the Malay Peninsula, but has been copied by Javanese shipwrights.Liebner, Horst H. (2016). ''Beberapa Catatan Akan Sejarah Pembuatan Perahu Dan Pelayaran Nusantara''. Jakarta: Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. By the end of the 17th century this ship has been built by Javanese and Chinese shipbuilders in and around Rembang. However it was a popular choice for Balinese skippers followed by Sulawesian skippers. Etymology The word ''pencalang'' comes from Malay word, which has now been absorbed into Indonesian language, namely ''calang'' and ''mencalang'', which means "to scout", "to recon", and "to peek". Therefore, pencalang can be interpreted as "a boat used for spying" or "recon boat". According to VOC glossarium, the Malay word ''pentjalang'' means "ship that was sent on the lookout", fr ...

Golekan
Golekan is a type of traditional boat from Madura, Indonesia. They once plied as far as Singapore, where they are referred to as Madurese traders. In the present this type of boat is only known locally, especially near Bangkalan in Western Madura and around the Kangean islands.Horridge (2015). p. 79. Etymology Dutch observer van Deventer wrote that it means "freight seeker". Gibson-Hill stated the name comes from Malay word ''golek'', which he claimed meant crank (tender, or 'tippy') when applied to a canoe. Rather, the name derived from ''kolek'', a Javanese word for 'boat', applied to a wide range of small craft along the north coast of Java. Thus the name ''golekan'' would meant 'a kind of ''kolek'''.Stenross (2007). p. 275. Golekan in Madurese culture were regarded as "male", being referred to as ''parao laki'' (male boat), so it has different ornamental motif from lis-alis and janggolan (''parao bini'' — female boat). The primary symbol was the rooster, associated in Indon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Centreboard
A centreboard or centerboard (US) is a retractable hull appendage which pivots out of a slot in the hull of a sailboat, known as a ''centreboard trunk'' (UK) or ''centerboard case'' (US). The retractability allows the centreboard to be raised to operate in shallow waters, to move the centre of lateral resistance (offsetting changes to the sailplan that move the centre of effort aft), to reduce drag when the full area of the centreboard is not needed, or when removing the boat from the water, as when trailering. A centreboard which consists of solely a pivoting metal plate is called a centerplate. A daggerboard is similar but slides vertically rather than pivoting. The analog in a scow is a bilgeboard: these are fitted in pairs and used one at a time. General History Lt. John Schank (c. 1740 – 6 February 1823) was an officer of the British Royal Navy and is credited with the invention of the centerboard. Schank, however, gave credit for the idea to British Brigadier General ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bago (boat)
A bago is a traditional boat built by the Mandar people of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The hull is of the pajala-type, lightly built and allowing for shallow displacement. The boat is long, with the mast only making up a quarter of its length. A bago can be readily identified as Mandarese boat by its rudderpost style. Smaller-sized bagos are often used as fishing boats from which fishermen cast their nets. The Mandar people prefer using a bago over an outrigger canoe.Horridge (2015). p.53. In the present, small bagos are outfitted with a leti (lete) sail/rig, but not long ago, they had canted rectangular sails ( tanja rig). Bigger versions of the bago, also using the pajala-type hull, are sometimes built rather deep and round but without the angle at the end of the keel. These boats can be found all over Mandar coast. A type with nade sail, created the West Sulawesian lambo. Another type, with leti sail and Mandar-style flat-roofed deckhouse, may be mistaken as leti leti. There is not ...
