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 a short mast, while the mainsail has no mast. The mainsail is kept in position by vangs and other ropes attached to its yard.H. H. Frese (1956). Small Craft in the Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde, Leiden. ''The Mariner's Mirror.'' 42 : 2, 101-112.
