| Definition |
|---|
| (n.) A vessel having one mast and fore-and-aft rig consisting of a boom-and-gaff mainsail jibs staysail and gaff topsail. The typical sloop has a fixed bowsprit topmast and standing rigging while those of a cutter are capable of being readily shifted. The sloop usually carries a centerboard and depends for stability upon breadth of beam rather than depth of keel. The two types have rapidly approximated since 1880. One radical distinction is that a slop may carry a centerboard. See Cutter and Illustration in Appendix. |
