Chialoup (or chaloup) was a type of sloop used in East Indies. It was the result of western (Dutch) and Nusantaran (Indonesian) technologies and techniques. Many of these "boat-ship" is produced at VOC shipwrights in Rembang and Juwana, in which the majority of the workers were local Javanese. Chialoup is used by Dutch East India Company and private merchant-sailor of western and Nusantaran origin.
Description
The chialoup sails mimics the one used in sloop, which is a combination of square sails with a fore-and-aft type sails installed extensively; the boats are usually one-masted, sometimes added with a bowsprit.[1] While most of these chialoups use a European-style center steering wheel, some of them are equipped with two side (quarter) rudders, a characteristic of a Nusantaran boat. The length is between 15 to 25 m, with cargo bay reaching almost 6 m long. Depending on the size, crewed between 20 and 40 people. In the syahbandar record of Malacca there is even a chialoup carrying up to 200t of cargo and a crew of 75 people.
