Default Cutter

Hey einstein, your defintion suggests that any boat at port with no sails
rigged has no classification. You are the ignorant man.

By definition: "The cutter is a single-masted boat whose mast is stepped
almost near the center of the boat. Cutters often carry two relatively
small jibs rather than one big one."
-Annapolis Book of Seamanship

note the word "often"

Take a sloop and add a second
head sail and it becomes a cutter.


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.
