variety there are no complicated accessory parts, the method of 

 lashing being direct and simple; the fore boom, a squared strong 

 pole, is practically straight ; as a consequence the fore end of the 

 bamboo float is raised high and thus offers less resistance when 

 sailing. In the case of the aft boom, there is a very slight curve 

 and this, as in the case of the Minahasa outrigger, is reversed, the 

 ends bending upwards slightly. These are shaped as depicted in 

 figure 54, and each has an oblique slot in the deeper part ; through 

 this the upper end of a short straight obliquely-placed stanchion is

passed; the lower end is thinned somewhat and inserted in an 

 oblique hole in the bamboo float. To secure the float, the same 

 plan is adopted as in the large Buleleng outriggers — a cord being 

 passed round the projecting peg-like top of the stanchion and 

 carried down to be lashed around the float, A triangular sail 

 carried by a stumpy mast is the rig ; the same as in the large Bali 

 type above described (page 96). Upon a Y-shaped rudder crutch 

 of distinctive pattern, having one short vertical and a longer 

 slightly curved limb, a quarter rudder of the usual prau form is 

 hung from the bent arm. A slender and much longer crutch 

 whereon to rest the mast when not in use, is placed right in the 

 stern, abaft the other.
