having

The
typical
sloop has a fixed
bowsprit,
topmast,
and
standing
rigging,
while those of a
cutter
are
capable
of being
readily

The sloop

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.
