Boats of Pacific and Southeast Asian peoples built with a lateral float or outrigger, or with other Austronesian hull forms, which carried settlers across the Pacific and Indian oceans. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the boat an outrigger, proa, waka, bangka or pinisi. It excludes boats of the Mediterranean, Arab and Chinese traditions. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
