The vessels employed would be classified as dhows with lateen rigs. This rig was a loose footed lateen sail hung from a centered mast. Its rig consists of one or two lateen sails. Searches for lateen sails in India were inconclusive. These technologies include the plank-sewn hulls, catamarans, outrigger boats, and possibly the lateen sail. The lateen sail proved to have better upwind performance for smaller vessels. This type of sail propagated to the west and influenced Arab lateen designs. Likewise, lateen sail survived in the Baltic until the late 19th century. The Spanish jabeque had only lateen sails, as portrayed in the "Cazador".
