- : a small two-masted merchant vessel, a type of hoy distinguished by the trapezoidal shape of the mainsail, used especially on canals and along coasts of the Low Countries.

There were three craft, all of different rig—a schooner, a ketch, and the said bilander.
The bilander was a good sizable object, and not to hit her anywhere would be too bad.
Well, mynheer, you have only to pay the difference, and the ketch will do; the bilander sails almost as fast.
They called her "the lugger," though her rig was widely different from that, and her due title was "bilander."
But the shot only threw up a long path of fountains, and the bilander ploughed on as merrily as before.
