Felucca on the Nile at Luxor

A felucca (Шаблон:Lang-ar, possibly originally from Greek Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang[1]) is a traditional wooden sailing boat with a single sail used in the Mediterranean—including around Malta and Tunisia—in Egypt and Sudan (particularly along the Nile and in protected waters of the Red Sea), and also in Iraq. Its rig consists of one or two lateen sails.

They are usually able to board ten passengers and the crew consists of two or three people.

Egypt

Despite the availability of motorboats and ferries, feluccas are still in active use as a means of transport in Nile-adjacent cities like Aswan or Luxor. They are especially popular among tourists who can enjoy a quieter and calmer mood than motorboats have to offer.

Feluccas at Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco at the foot of Union Street, circa 1891

A large fleet of lateen-rigged feluccas thronged San Francisco's docks before and after the construction, at the foot of Union Street, of the state-owned Fisherman's Wharf in 1884.[2] Light, small, and maneuverable, the feluccas were the mainstay of the fishing fleet of San Francisco Bay. John C. Muir, Curator of Small Craft,[3][4] SF Maritime Historical Park, said of them, "These workhorses featured a mast that angled, or raked, forward sharply, and a large triangular sail hanging down from a long, two-piece yard".[5][6] Among the owners of feluccas in San Francisco Bay was the author Jack London, who recollected his adventure as a young oyster pirate in his works.Шаблон:Citation needed
