A junk is a Chinese sailing vessel. The English name comes from Malay dgong or jong. Junks were originally developed during the Han Dynasty (220 BC-200 AD) and further evolved to represent one of the most successful ship types in history. This article is about the history of Junks. For modern developments and sailing technique see Junk Rig.

Those old chinese boats that have sails that look like dragon wings are called "junks".

The origin of the English word for the Chinese boat is from the Javanese word djong or the Malay word adjong, meaning ship or large vessel.

Historically, they're "Junks"...
But then again, my little brother had a nice 40 foot sailing cutter-rigged sloop built in Taiwan... a Mariner36.
