Difference
Balanghay is the oldest watercraft in the Philippines and is said to be the first wooden watercraft built by Filipimos in Butuan Region, while Vinta reveals that its sial has a range of colors and was made by Badjaos from the Sulu Archipelago. Balanghay is a large boat that was once widely used to travel from city to city. Balanghay can transport between 40 and 50 people. Vinta is well-known in Zamboanga. It's similar to a surf ferry, and can be found on Mindanao's beaches.
Balangay
Balangay, also called barangay, is a type of lashed-lug boat built by connecting planks edge-to-edge with pins, dowels, and fiber lashings. They can be found in the Philippines and were mainly used as merchant ships prior to the colonial period. The Butuan vessels, which were found in many locations in Butuan, Agusan del Norte, and carbon-dated to 320 AD, are the oldest known balangay.
Balangay became the first wooden boats found in Southeast Asia. Balangay are celebrated annually in Butuan City during the Balanghai Festival.
Balangay was one of the first native words that Europeans learned in the Philippines. Pigafetta, a Spanish chronicler who accompanied Ferdinand Magellan on his first journey across the world (1521), referred to the local vessels as balangai or balanghai. This word, pronounced balangay or barangay, has the same meaning in both of the Philippines' major languages.
Vinta
The vinta is a traditional outrigger boat from Mindanao, a Philippine island. The boats are handcrafted by the Sama-Bajau, Tausug, and Yakan peoples of the Sulu Archipelago, Zamboanga Peninsula, and southern Mindanao. Vintas are characterized by their brightly colored rectangular lug sails (bukay) and bifurcated prows and sterns that mimic a crocodile's gaping mouth. Vinta vessels are used for fishing, cargo ships, and houseboats. Tondaan are unadorned, smaller types of vinta that are used for fishing.
The name "vinta" is most widely heard in Zamboanga, Basilan, and other areas of mainland Mindanao. It's also known as pilang or pelang among the Sama-Bajau of the Tawi-Tawi islands, dapang or depang among the Tausug of Sulu, and balanda or binta in Yakan, Basilan. It is also referred to as lepa-lepa, sakayan, or bangka, which are local words for small outrigger boats.
