If the mizzen be stepped abaft the stern-post the vessel becomes a"dandy" or "yawl. " In the cutter the mizzen is dispensed with, and in a sloop of the oldrig the difference between the two is that the cutter has two headsails, the jib and foresail, while the sloop has but one, the foresail.
Sometimes the sloop has a standing bowsprit, while the cutter has arunning one; but this distinction is not essential. Indeed, the wordscutter and sloop have begun to be used indiscriminately, except, perha...ps, that a cutter is for pleasure and a sloop for trade.
In a spritsail rig the gaff is at the head of the sail, and works on themast in cheeks; the sprit runs diagonally across the sail, and is hungon to the mast in what is practically a loop and lashing.
This has also what looks like a mizzen, but it is fixed on to the rudderand is known as a "jigger. " Sometimes the jigger is triangular, like theyawl's mizzen, but the shape makes no difference in the name.
The lug is the old sail of the Norsemen.
