Long-tail boats in Poda island, Krabi, Thailand.. The long-tail boat (Thai: เรือหางยาว, RTGS: ruea hang yao, [1] pronounced [rɯ̄ːa̯ hǎːŋ jāːw]) is a type of watercraft native to Southeast Asia that uses a common automotive engine as a readily available and maintainable powerplant. [2]
The oldest recovered boats in the Philippines are the 9 to 11 balangay found in Butuan dated to 320 CE, all specimens of whom were typical lashed-lug Austronesian boats. The technique remained common in Philippine (and Southeast Asian) boats right up to the 19th century, when modern boats started to be built with metal nails.
[12]: 20 Chinese ships weren't used for maritime voyages to Southeast Asia and beyond until the 9th century CE. [ 24 ] : 20–21 Heng suggests an even later date (11th century CE) for the beginning of Chinese maritime shipping, when the first actual records of Chinese ships (mostly from Fujian and Guangdong ) leaving for foreign trade appear.
Outrigger boats were originally developed by the Austronesian-speaking peoples of the islands of Southeast Asia for sea travel. It is believed that the use of outriggers may have been initially caused by the need for stability on small watercraft after the invention of crab claw sails some time around 1500 BCE. [1]
For more than a decade, HanseYachts built sailing yachts only. In 2006, the company acquired the majority of Norwegian powerboat manufacturer Fjord Boats AS and started to develop seagoing powerboats. [10] In 2007, the English Moody brand (sailing yachts) was added, and the creation of a new Moody range with decksaloon and aftcockpit models ...
When sailing, the small boats were slung to the ship's sides. [90]: 250–251 Niccolò da Conti, in relating his travels in Asia between 1419 and 1444, describes ships much larger than European ships, capable of reaching 2,000 tons in size, [note 5] with five sails and as many masts. The lower part is constructed with three planks, to withstand ...
Similar shipwrecks found elsewhere in Southeast Asia include the Pontian boat (c. 260–430 CE) of Malaysia. The Butuan boats were found in association with large amounts of trade goods from China, Cambodia, Thailand (Haripunjaya and Satingpra), Vietnam, and as far as Persia, indicating they traded as far as the Middle East.

Boats in South East Asia and Polynesia centred on canoes, outriggers and multihull boats. By contrast, boats in Europe centred on framed and keeled monohulls. The Scandinavians were building innovative boats millennia ago, as shown by the many petroglyph images of Nordic Bronze Age boats.
