BattyBot does not recognize WPSAILING
Per this weird edit by BattyBot (talk · contribs) [1] It does not seem to understand that WikiProject Sailing exists, or the shortcut {{WPSAILING}} at least. -- 65.92.246.191 (talk) 16:15, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
- I think you are right there, but you will need to take that up with the bot operator. We can't do much from here. - Ahunt (talk) 16:37, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
Help needed, Madagascan traditional(?) rig
Does any Wikipedia editor with an understanding of traditional sailing rigs have any knowledge of the sailing outrigger canoes (Lakana, also called pirogue) of Madagascar? Even better would be someone with photos or video footage that show how a certain rig configuration works.
The problem is with the article Lakana, which also feeds into Austronesian peoples – and it concerns the only picture on Commons of that craft, which is shown here. The question is, what rig is on the boat in the picture? How can we prove that?
There are two traditional rigs that are known to exist, one is lateen and the other is a mastless rig (yes, that is right), as in[2]. The mastless rig uses two vertical booms to extend the sail out of the hull and they have a distinctive V-shaped configuration when viewed from astern. It is essentially a downwind rig and is used by the fishermen to sail out in the morning on the land breeze and back in the afternoon on the sea breeze. Because it only has one surface of the sail on the windward side, it is (technically) a square sail (as opposed to fore and aft, which can have either surface on the windward side).
I don't think the picture in Commons shows either of these rig types. I have found some other photos on line of what appears to be the same type of vessel. They are [3],[4],[5],[6]. Here is a video of a French model-maker[7] – at 9:18 is a labelled diagram of the component parts.
I believe that this is a third rig type that has not been included in the historic, traditional rigs that have been recorded. Unfortunately, another editor insists that the image in Commons is of the mastless, V-sparred configuration, downwind sailing rig. I don't think that is right, but I do not have a source to prove it. I won't say here what I believe the rig shown is, as I don't want to prejudice anyone's thinking.
I think the ideal way to prove things would be a video of one of these boats changing tack. Do you either have such a video, or a better idea?
For the record, there has been a rather "difficult" discussion on this at Talk:Austronesian_peoples#lakana
