Encyclopedia Britannica



PROA (Malay, prau)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 376 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PROA (Malay, prau) , the general
term
  in the Malay language for all vessels, from the sampan or canoe to the square-rigged kapal, but in western usage confined to the
swift
 -sailing craft that the pirates of the Indian Ocean made
familiar
  to sailors in eastern waters. The
chief
  points which characterize these vessels are that while the weather-side is rounded the lee-side is flat from
stem
  to stern, that both
stem
  and stern are exactly similar in shape, and that there is a. small similarly shaped hull swung out from the side of the
main
  hull on poles, which acts
as an outrigger and prevents the
vessel
  heeling over. The
main
  hull carries the mast
rigging
  and an enormous triangular-shaped sail.
