Lorcha
The lorcha is a type of sailing vessel having a Chinese junk rig on a Portuguese or European style hull. Because of its hull structure, the vessel is faster and can carry more cargo than the normal Chinese junk. The advantage of a junk rig was in its ease of handling and resulting ability to be sailed with a minimal crew, together with its relatively low cost of construction. Owing to its simplicity, it was also easier to repair.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Lorcha
lor′cha, n. a light vessel of European build, but rigged like a Chinese junk.
