having
one mast and

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

The sloop

depends

stability
upon
breadth
of beam

than depth of keel. The two types have
rapidly
approximated
since 1880. One
radical
distinction
is that a slop may carry a
centerboard.
