Janggolan

[3] Kroman is the same as janggolan, also with deckhouse, 2 triangular sails with the same rig, but usually with narrower bow with an elegant, high ascending frame and low "jawline".

[8] The rudder post itself can be 3 meter long with 25x40 cm in thickness, with vertical pillar taller than human.

The wood carving pattern on the face of the boat comes from various sources, including the Dutch royal emblem.

[6] Janggolan had been involved in the carrying of timber from Kalimantan from the late 1960s, combining this with the transport of salt to Jakarta and other places in the western portion of the archipelago since early 20th century, and specializing in the transport of baulk timber or squared logs to ports in Java.

[6] Balinese janggolan refers to small type of boat with western influence used in Bali, built using sekoci hull.

In the 19th century a sekoci means a small perahu with western-style construction, usually for the Dutch, and many of the type exported from Makassar to other islands.

[12] It is used as ferry boat, with sekoci hull, central rudder, and small single sail placed high in a mast.

A Balinese janggolan observed by Adrian Horridge is 11 m long, 2.75 m wide, with midhull draft of 76 cm.
