Verkauf Junco Chino Gulet aus Holz in Malaga, Spanien

A junk is a Chinese sailing ship that has totally battened sails. Northern junk, which evolved from Chinese riverboats, and southern junk, which evolved from Austronesian ship designs and has been trading with the Eastern Han dynasty since the 2nd century AD. They evolved further in subsequent dynasties and were mostly employed by Chinese traders throughout Southeast Asia. They were discovered, and are still present in smaller quantities, across Southeast Asia and India, but principally in China. A rising number of contemporary recreational junk-rigged sailboats may be found nowadays. Many different types of coastal or river ships were referred to be Chinese junks.

Typically, they were cargo ships, leisure boats, or houseboats. They have historically ranged in size from tiny river and coastal vessels to big ocean-going ships, with major geographical differences in the style of rig, although they always use fully battened sails. During the colonial period, the term "junk" was also used to designate to any big to medium-sized ship of the Austronesian nations of Island Southeast Asia, with or without the junk rig.

The Chinese junk sail is an adaptation of the Malay junk sail, which employed vegetable matting tied to bamboo battens, a method that originated in Indonesia. The full-length battens maintain the sail flatter than optimum in all wind situations. As a result, their ability to sail close to the wind is less than that of other fore-and-aft rigs.
