Boat of the Red Sea and Indian Ocean (4)

I believe the answer is:

dhow

(Other definitions for dhow that I've seen before include "Type of boat used in the Indian ocean" , "Arabian two-master" , "Arab sailing boat" , "Arab coastal vessel" , "Arab vessel with lateen sail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
