A small sloop approaches the shore ferrying a group of passengers from Gloucester. |
The yachts shown are two cutters, a schooner, a sloop with Bermuda rig much like our modern Marconi rig, and a lugger. |
The rig is a simple deck-stepped mast-head sloop with single upper shrouds and spreaders, double lower shrouds and split backstay. |
An optional gunter sloop rig makes for a very seamanlike rig, and one ideal for young people to learn to sail with. |
Matt followed Katherine's lead and moved out onto the tiny foredeck of the sloop. |
The 31 was offered as a sloop or with a double headsail arrangement commonly called a cutter. |
