1 . (
Naut .)
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 sloop may carry a centerboard .
