Ladjak

Ladjak (meaning "sail" in Chamorro) was a general term referring to both sails woven from pandanus leaves and to single-outrigger canoes ("proas") fitted with a sail. These vessels include the very large sakman (usually known as "flying proas" in historical records), the slightly smaller lelek, the medium-sized duding, and the small duduli. It excludes the panga and the galaide’, which were not fitted with sails.{{cite journal |last1=Cunningham |first1=Lawrence J. |last2=Kranz |first2=Ward |last3=Sikau |first3=Manny |title=Restoring traditional seafaring and navigation in Guam |journal=Micronesian Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences |date=November 2006 |volume=5 |issue=1/2 |pages=314-319 |url=http://marshall.csu.edu.au/MJHSS/Issue2006/MJHSS2006_119.pdf}}
