Hi! IN the introduction of book "MAKASSAR" (I found it in Anda Hotel, Bira), tells: the first written information about "Pinisi" are in the "cronicas" of a misionary portughese sailing in the straik of Malaccha about 1300. Could you confirm this information. I think in any case, could be very interesting to know about it. Also me love the matter about Pinisi.
