Ladjak

Last updated

Ladjak (meaning "sail" in Chamorro) was a general term referring to both sails woven from pandanus leaves and to single-outrigger canoes ("proas") fitted with a sail. These vessels include the very large sakman (usually known as "flying proas" in historical records), the slightly smaller lelek , the medium-sized duding , and the small duduli . It excludes the panga and the galaide’ , which were not fitted with sails. [1]
