Felucca

A felucca (Arabic: فلوكة, romanized: falawaka, possibly originally from Greek ἐφόλκιον, epholkion) is a traditional wooden sailing boat with a single sail used in the Mediterranean—including around Malta and Tunisia—in Egypt and Sudan (particularly along the Nile and in protected waters of the Red Sea), and also in Iraq. Its rig consists of one or two lateen sails.

For the fictional moon, see Felucca (Ultima).

They are usually able to board ten passengers and the crew consists of two or three people.
