Description
Pajala is an undecked coasting boat which usually has a tripod mast carrying a single large rectangular sail.[2]
History
From padewakang-tanja to palari-pinisi
What pushed Sulawesi sailors to abandon the sombala tanja that has been used used from the past for pinisi rig which is more European in nature according to Haji Daeng Pale is the ease of its usage. When the wind rises, the person on the boat using the sails has to roll the big sail onto the boom below, a heavy and dangerous job. The pinisi sail can be reduced section by section starting with closing the topsail and the headsail. If the wind increases again, it is rather easy to reduce the large sail by pulling it towards the mast, so that the boat using the sail is closed halfway and one or more of the headsails is still functioning sufficiently and the steering power is not lost. Besides this, there is also a difference in sailing ability, namely that the pinisi sail can sail closer to the wind. The most important thing is that the boat can turn around more easily when beating to windward.[1]: 26
