Palari (boat)

A palari was a type of Indonesian sailing vessel originating in South Sulawesi, now largely superseded by mechanised vessels. Palaris were primarily used by the people of Ara and Lemo Lemo (in the Bulukumba Regency), to transport goods and people. They were rigged using the pinisi rig, which often led to them being better known as pinisi. In Singapore, palaris were known as "makassar traders".
