Cutter
::
Cutter
(n.) A fast
sailing
vessel
with one mast,
rigged
in most
essentials
like a
sloop.
A
cutter
is
narrower
end
deeper
than a sloop of the same
length,
and
depends
for
stability
on a deep keel, often
heavily
weighted
with
lead..

Sloop
::
Sloop (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.
