'''Perahu payang''' or simply '''payang''' is a traditional [[Malays (ethnic group)|Malay]] open [[Fishing Boat|fishing boat]]. They are usually found in [[Terengganu]], and to a lesser extent, [[Kelantan]], [[Pahang]], and [[Johor]] coasts. A few examples normally come down to [[Singapore]] to operate during the period of the north-east monsoon in the [[South China Sea]].<ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
== Etymology ==
The name perahu payang comes from ''payang'' (a type of [[Seine fishing|seine]]) used by local fishermen. Perahu is [[Malay language|Malay]] word for boat and/or ship. Thus the name can be translated as "a boat that use ''payang''".<ref></ref>
== Description ==
Perahu payang has a crew of 15-20 men when fishing. It carries a net which the name derives, the ''pukat payang''. The perahu payang ranges in length from about 33-45 feet (10-13.7 m) with a beam of 6 to more than 7 feet (1.8-2.1 m).<ref name=":0" /> The bow and stern are built up fantastically giving a most striking appearance. These ends, the keel and bottom planks are built of chengai wood, the top planks usually being serayah wood. The upper strakes of Malay boats, ''timbau'', are usually made of light woods as ''serayah'' or ''medang'' to support the crew and nets should the boat be swamped. If built of chengai wood only the boat would sink.<ref name=":1">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> It has 2 spar rest, 1 forward and 1 aft.<ref name=":0" />
It carried two rectangular sails on two masts. The sail is taller than its wide. The mainmast decidedly bent over at the top to give a certain springiness when meeting the wind. There is a gaff and a boom in the sail. Payangs are provided with an [[anchor]], also 13 or 14 oars, 4 or 5 ''pengayoh'' (paddle), and ''kemudi'' ''sepak'' (large oar which is used for steering)<ref name=":1" /> which is held over the lee quarter.<ref name=":0" /> They carry a small boat called ''sampan payang'', about 6 feet (1.8 m) long by 2 feet (61 cm) beam. Near the bow is a painted carved figurehead usually like the head of a [[dragon]]. The bow is also decorated by a necklace made from the pinang tree called ''mayang pinang''.<ref name=":1" /> They also carry one or two long poles ([[Quant pole|quant/punting poles]]) are carried for use in shallow water, a small landing net and a wire hoop strung with [[Cockle (bivalve)|cockle]] shells (''kulit krang'') on the end of a stick. This wire hoop is used for frightening the fish into the net by shaking it under the water when it makes a rattling sound. It carried a large net, called ''pukat petarang'', measuring about 110 to 120 feet (33.5-36.6 m) long by 18 feet (5.5 m) wide.<ref name=":1" />
