| 释义 |
The Panga is a type of modest-sized, open, outboard-powered, fishing boat common throughout much of the developing world, including Central America, the Caribbean, parts of Africa, the Middle East, and much of Asia. The original panga design was developed by Yamaha as part of a World Bank project circa 1970.[1][2][3] Pangas are commonly operated directly off of beaches.[4] The name comes from the panga fish which is commonly netted, note the upswept bow of the boat which resembles the machete or knife called a panga. Key features of the panga design are a high bow, narrow waterline beam, and a flotation bulge along the gunwale, or top edge of the hull. The high bow provides buoyancy for retrieving heavy nets, and minimizes spray coming over the bow. The narrow beam allows the hull to be propelled by a modest-sized outboard motor. The flotation bulge along the gunwale provides increased stability at high angles of roll. These features link the panga design to traditional Japanese wasen fishing boats.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} The original Yamaha panga design had a length of {{convert|22|ft|m|1}}, and a waterline beam of approximately {{convert|5|ft|6|in|1}}. The flotation bulge at the gunwale increased the overall beam to approximately {{convert|6|ft|6|in|1}}.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} Pangas are usually between {{convert|19|and|28|ft|m|1}} in length, with capacities ranging from {{convert|1|to|5|ST|LT t|2|lk=on}} and powered by outboard motors of between {{convert|45|and|200|hp|kW|abbr=on}}. Their planing hulls are capable of speeds in excess of {{convert|35|kn|mph km/h}}.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} The hulls are made of Fiberglass or FRP, heavily reinforced by numerous bulkheads, and usually have bow and stern enclosed flotation compartments.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} In the hands of an experienced operator they are considered extremely seaworthy. Most pangas are expected to have a working life of between 5 and 10 years if properly maintained.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} References1. ^Panga history at Allmand Boats.
