Definition
A small, light, fast sailing vessel used historically for fishing, transportation, or coastal trading.
Etymology
From 'fly' (speedy) + 'boat' (Old Norse 'bátr'). Dutch maritime term ('vliegboot') from the 16th-17th centuries, describing swift coastal vessels.
Kelly Says
Dutch merchants built flyboats specifically to be fast enough to outrun pirates and weather—the speedboats of the sailing age, designed for traders who couldn't afford to be slow.
