Lorcha (boat)
The lorcha is a type of sailing vessel having a Chinese junk rig on a Portuguese or other European style hull. Because of its hull structure, the vessel is faster and can carry more cargo than the normal Chinese junk. The advantage of a junk rig was in its ease of handling and resulting ability to be sailed with a minimal crew, together with its relatively low cost of construction. Owing to its simplicity, it was also easier to repair.
==History==
This type of vessel was developed around 1550 in Macau, then a Portuguese colony in China.〔''Skene's Elements of Yacht Design'', 8th Edition 1973, Francis S. Kinney, Page 164. ISBN 0-396-06582-1.〕 This hybrid type of vessel sailed faster than traditional pirate ships and it began to be used by British traders after the First Opium War.
The Vũng Tàu shipwreck is a lorcha that sunk near the Côn Đảo Islands and has been dated to about 1690.
A type of lorcha sailing lighter was used formerly in Bangkok to carry rice out to ocean ships over the bar of the Chao Phraya river.〔(Mast & Sail in Europe & Asia: Chapter 11 )〕
