A Chebec, also spelled Xebec, and chebeck, was a small, fast, three-masted vessel of the 16th to 19th centuries used exclusively in the Mediterranean Sea, with a distinctive hull, which added a pronounced overhanging bow and stern.
Xebec were greatly favored by Mediterranean nations as corsairs, and for this purpose were built with a narrow floor to achieve a higher speed than their victims, but with a considerable beam in order to enable them to carry and extensive sail plan.
When a xebec is equipped for war, she is navigated in three different methods according to the force or direction of the wind.

The foremast of the xebec was traditionally raked (bent) forward while the main was straight.
At a glance, the xebec and the pink might be similar if it were not, at a closer inspection, for the unique shape of the xebec's hull.
The xebec was mainly a warship, but came in many sizes depending on who built her and what their requirements were.

 William Falconer's Dictionary of the Marine, X, page 1523
Being generally equipped as a corsair, the xebec is constructed with a narrow floor, to be more swift in pursuit of the enemy; and of a great breadth, to enable her to carry a great force of sail for this purpose, without danger of overturning.
When a xebec is equipped for war, she is occasionally navigated in three different methods, according to the force or direction of the wind.
The xebecs, which are generally armed as vessels of war by the Algiers, mount from sixteen to twenty-four cannon, and carry from 300 to 450 men, two-thirds of whom are generally soldiers.

The wide ranges come from a large variety of sources, but one must remember that the xebec existed from the mid 1600's to the mid 1800's, was used as both a merchantman and a warship, and could easily vary in size according to need and function.
The xebec under sail was noted to be the fastest and most agile craft of the Mediterranean.
Given the weakness of a xebec's light hull and the poor aim of Corsair gunners (worse than the French Navy!), a prolonged gun battle was not an option.

At about 5 am on January 17 1995, the Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred and among its victims was XEBEC, one of the most important presenters of music and sound art in Japan.
Although the building itself was not severely damaged, the ground in the area sank more than 40 centimeters due to liquefaction, and the pipes supplying gas and water were cut off, making it impossible to use the heating or water and sewage systems.
All transportation links to XEBEC were severed and the end result was obviously an abrupt interruption in programming.

 Chebec (Xebec): White Sails
The most striking features of the design of the Chebec (also called Xebec) (1750-1786) are its sails, which seem to have been designed primarily for speed, as compared to the square sails of the galleys of the time which were used mainly to relieve the rowers when sailing before the wind.
Two of them, the Requin and the Indiscret, were 260 tons and carried 24 six-inch guns, compared to the other two, the Ruse and the Serpent, which were 150 tons and carried 18 six-inch guns.
