Die Pinasse (französisch, eigentlich „Boot aus Kiefernholz“, lateinisch pinus Kiefer) ist ursprünglich ein größeres Beiboot, insbesondere von Kriegsschiffen. Die Bezeichnung wird heute für viele unterschiedliche Boots- oder Schiffstypen verwendet. rdf:langString
As a ship's boat, the pinnace is a light boat, propelled by oars or sails, carried aboard merchant and war vessels in the Age of Sail to serve as a tender. The pinnace was usually rowed but could be rigged with a sail for use in favorable winds. A pinnace would ferry passengers and mail, communicate between vessels, scout to sound anchorages, convey water and provisions, or carry armed sailors for boarding expeditions. The Spanish favored them as lightweight smuggling vessels while the Dutch used them as raiders. In modern parlance, "pinnace" has come to mean an auxiliary vessel that does not fit under the "launch" or "lifeboat" definitions. rdf:langString
