=>Owen,
=>your boat is a cutter.
=>See: http://www.cutter.swinternet.co.uk/cutter%20definition.htm
=>It lists several definitions, the one from Encyclopaedia Britannica:
=>Cutter = small, speedy sailing vessel similar to a sloop. It has a single
=>mast rigged fore and aft, carrying a mainsail and at least two headsails.
=>Its traditional hull design, deep and narrow, features a raking transom
=>stern, a vertical stem, and a long bowsprit. In U.S. Coast Guard
=usage, the
=>term cutter refers to a Coast Guard vessel more than 83 feet (25 metres)
=>long and not classed as an auxiliary vessel.

=>Hi
=>
=>I've been having this discussion with my boss. To me, a cutter has always
=>been any sailing vessel with a single mast and two headsails. I know some
=>people will limit this to only gaff rig, but for the past 10 years, I have
=>confidently described my Naomi J. as a Bermudan cutter. My boss says she
=>isn't, and nor is his own 28 foot steel spray with a similar rig
=or a single
=>masted, gaff rigged Colin Archer double ender with jib, staysail and main.
=>
=>I know that in Norwegian, the word cutter (spelled "kutter") has been used
=>to describe a certain hull shape common in older sailing and motor fishing
=>vessels. However, I always assumed this was because the cutter
=rigged craft
=>that were brought to Norway from Britain around 100 years happened to have
=>that type of hull and that the way the term is used in Norwegian is based
=>upon a misunderstanding.
=>
=>So, what say the learned company? Is my Naomi J. a cutter? and if
=not, then
=>why not. How about a traditional gaff rigged Colin Archer?
=>
=>Photos of the Naomi J. can be found at:
