there are no 2 head sail sloops . I do not know who you have been
talking to but they are blowing a lot of smoke .
the 2nd jib on a cutter adds greater pulling power to the sails that is
why it is used and was popular back in the days when there was nothing
but sail.

Actually, it is still a sloop, though a twin-headsail sloop.

The definition of "cutter" has become more of "twin headsails" through common
usage but still to this day a cutter has a main mast placed aft of the main
mast of a sloop.
