«Perahu buatan barat»(Boat of east manufacture) of Peninsular Malaysia- undecked fishing boat of the east coast and adjacent Thailand.Double-ended; vertical cutwater,but above the the water line; stem and sternpost flare outward and extend upward as much as 1.5-1.8m. Plank-built on a dugout base, which forms a broad keel. A spar rest, often elaborately carved, extends outboard on the port side abaft the stem; in some areas, a similar piece extends out the starboard side and serves to secure the anchor. Boats collorfully painted. Boat building tradition is one of the skills mastered by Malay craftsmen. Decoration on the Perahu Buatan Barat, the Malay traditional boat is one of the uniqueness of the production of traditional boats in East Coast of Malaysia. The tradition of Malay boat building, each plank was given specific names based on the line of planks. There is one line called 'papan tarik' or 'papan cantik' was usually decorated with paintings by a variety of motifs and patterns from the bow to the stern of the boat. The motifs usually taken from the surrounding environment as well as flora and fauna will be painted with motifs repeated but with differing formations. The aim of this study is to identify the motifs and analyze the formation of motifs by using mathematical methods of frieze pattern. In the monsoon season, substitution of short, stumpy stem and sternpost permits better handling through the surf. Some have an aft-raking stick amidships to which the steering oar is affixed. Normally steps 2 masts, each setting a rectangular mat or canvas sail. Foremast stepped in the eyes, as is a single mast. Crew of 5-7, but some exceptionally large boats may employ 30 men. Reported lengths 9.8-10.4, beam ca. 1.83m, depth 0.76m; in northern Kelantan, only ca. 5.5m long.
