General Description

The pinisi or phinisi is a traditional Indonesian

two-masted sailing ship. It was mainly built by the
Konjo tribe, a sub-ethnic group of Bugis-Makassar
mostly residents at the Bulukumba regency of
South Sulawesi but was, and still is used widely
by the Buginese and Makasarese, mostly for interinsular transportation, cargo and fishing purposes
within Indonesia archipelago.

Types of pinisi

There are two general types of Pinisi:

Lamba or lambo. Pinisi of a long and slender built, having a straight
stern. This type of Pinisi is the one currently surviving in its motorized
version (PLM).
Palari. Older type of Pinisi with a curved stern and keel. They were
usually smaller than the Lamba.

History
The first pinisi ships are said to have been built after the
example of the Dutch pinas" (pinnace) introduced to the
region by the V.O.C. around 1600. These probably carried
lateen or other type of sails, as the modern schooner rig did
not become prominent before the 19th century.
Traditional Buginese lontara manuscripts and stories
document the use of pinisi by Buginese for transport, as a
sailing boat, and a warship.
During the alliance with the Dutch colonialists, pinisis were
mainly used as trade ships, transports, and for fishing. Some
sources, say that at the time of the Indonesian National
Awakening pinisi were used by Buginese and people of
Sulawesi as warships during the Indonesian struggle for
independence.

Construction of a pinisi
Several parts of the pinisi are referred to by their original
Buginese names, such as:
Anjong, (balancing triangle) located at the front deck
(Anjungan)
Sombala (main sail) the largest sail in the ship
Tanpasere (small sail) triangle-shaped, located at each
mast
Cocoro pantara (front additional sail).
Cocoro tangnga (middle additional sail)
Tarengke (row additional sail))

Modern use

Today, pinisi mainly used for trade, serves as inter-insular cargo,

such as to transport timber from Kalimantan to Java, in
exchange to transporting grocery and goods from industrialized
Java to more remote ports in Indonesian archipelago. Pinisi often
frequent traditional ports, such as Sunda Kelapa port in Jakarta,
Surabaya, Banjarmasin, and the port of Makasar.
The pinisi is modified into diving charter boat by foreigner
investors for tourism purpose.
