Sloop, Cutter, Ketch, and Yawl are the 4 most common types of sailboats. This video discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each. NOTE: There is an error at 6:44, The mizzen is behind the rudder post on a Yawl.

Nice summary (and I note The Hambbo’s comment). It’s interesting that pre-steam and diesel, small vessels which needed speed.and good sea-keeping - customs patrol vessels, pilot boats etc. - tended to cutter rig giving more sail options. Also, a yawl is differentiated by having the small, steering sail mast a aft the rudder post - behind not ahead of it.

On a Yawl, the mizzen is a steering sail, and as mentioned is there to help with a weather helm, and will keep you into the wind at anchor. As the fishermen would haul in the nets, the mizzen sail keeps the bow to the wind. To come about, just deploy a headsail and let her come around to port or starboard by hauling the mizzen boom in the opposite direction. It's also great to hold her into the wind while deploying the main and foresails. I've sailed a friend's Hinckley 35 yawl, sweet boat, it's very similar to the legendary Hinckley 35 Pilot, one of the finest lady's to sail the seven seas.

on a yawl you can use the mizzen sail as a rudder if the rudder breaks, which happens more than a lot of people think, and that is a total disaster in the high seas!

I have sailed all 4 rigs and like what you said about all except the Yawl. I see several people already caught the error about the mast being behind the rudder but having sailed a 76 foot Morgan Yawl in several oceans I can tell you it's not a useless sail. In a following wind it works to steer the boat. Under power heading directly into the wind the mizzen really reduces the roll and stabilizes the boat. In a reach with heavy winds the Mizzen and Stay are a great choice. It's also a perfect crane to list the tender out of the water. So don't dismiss it as useless.

You should look at a Solent set up. It is a compromise between a Sloop and a Cutter. Like a cutter it has two head sails but unlike the Cutter which is set up with space to jib your Genoa the second head sail is right up just behind the Genoa with only a few inches between them and runs to the top of the mast. This has the advantage of less expensive rigging because unlike the Cutter you don't need to add additional rigging to shore up the mast at the anchor point for the second head sail. When running with the wind you open the Genoa up Port or Starboard and deploy your Jib on the opposite side. This also eliminates the need for a Spinnaker as well as the Genoa and Jib essentially act like a Spinnaker when deployed in this configuration. When you are heading into the wind you roll the Genoa and use the Jib the way you would on a Sloop. The disadvantage is that if you use smaller sails you will lose more speed into the wind than you will with a cutter or a sloop. That might be a problem if you are racing but if you are simply cruising I don't see it as a big disadvantage.

I've heard discussions about yawl rigs that the small mizzen and rear sail are in fact very useful exactly for that stabilising ability. On every trip you will need to raise and lower sails at the beginning and the end, and having a boat that is stable makes that job very easy. So personally I wouldn't dis the yawl to quickly. I'm also a wannabe sailor, but I want to build a GIS dinghy to learn building and sailing and after that a Francois Vivier Ebihen 15'. Thanks for the vlog.

Thanks for the feedback. In my research I did come accost the mizzen being used for stability as you mention, especially at anchor to make the boat point into the wind instead of sit to the current. Just for power is pretty small. On the boat building topic I'd highly recommend it. I build a 15' center console and loved the experience. Here's a link to the build video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWLGgWSMjp1gj9k The plans were from spirainternational.com/hp_alam.php The GIS looks like a fun build and very do-able for a first one.

The points made here about the yawl rig are pretty inaccurate: 1. The yawl mizzen is not just for balancing the boat - it is a small sail and doesn’t provide much drive but it provides some - and it can be used to balance the boat and steer it, hold it into the wind, turn it, make it more stable at anchor and make it self-steering on certain points of sail; 2. The mizzen is not blocked by the main when sailing to windward (that is just a ridiculous claim to make); 3. The mizzen is not any more difficult to set than any other sail. The mizzen can be used to safely reverse the boat under sail. The mizzen also provides a small sail area with a low centre of effort which, with a jib of similar area and the main stowed, is a small, balanced sail-plan that can be very effective in a hard blow. The yawl rig is an extremely handy and well-proven sail plan with a long history and few downsides (however one of these is, for long-distance/blue-water sailing, the challenge of attaching a transom-hung self-steering windvane to a yawl because of the potential conflict with the mizzen sail/boom).

Agree with "Ian doe" above. I would further refine the definitions of sloop & cutter as: a sloop's mast is stepped 1/3 of load waterline length or less from forward, whereas a cutter's mast is stepped more than 1/3 load waterline length from forward. It has nothing to do with whether there are bowsprits or staysails on the foredeck or if the forestay goes up to the masthead or not. Sloops can have staysails. They can also have bowsprits. Their forestays can go all the way to the masthead or they can be attached somewhat below that ("fractionally" rigged). The same is also true of cutters, although cutters are rather rarely fractionally rigged. This isn't just some nebulous, vague, hazy opinion but a definition given in recognized, authoritative, established works such as Chapman's _Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling_ and Royce's _Sailing Illustrated._

On a Yawl the rear mast stands out of the waterline. At classic yachts the hull was much longer as the waterline and the small sail area in the rear of the boat helped to trim the boat, so ruder pressure would be reduced, and the boat goes a bit faster.

I just learned that the real difference between a sloop and a cutter is where the mast is placed. If the length of the boat is divided 60% aft / 40% fore, a sloop has it's mast in the fore 40%, a cutter in the aft 60%. Hence a cutter gets a bigger fore triangle and was usually blessed with two sails - and poorer upwind performance.

Not bad but if your going into the different types of sail rigs you missed some that might prove beneficial to some. The Fractional sloop where the head sail stops before the top of the mast. Gives very similar performance to a sloop but easier to handle forward sail. You mentioned the Cutter rigged but never touched on the relationship of the mast to the center of the boat to distinguish between a cutter and a sloop. I can't tell the difference looking unless it is really noticeable but if you call someone's Cutter a sloop they are pretty quick to point it out kind of like calling a Chevy a Ford. The last one that you might anted to touch on is the Cat Rig boat. The Mast is right at the Bow and is a single sail type boat. But otherwise a very indepth video well done.

@seanmalloy72493 жыл бұрын
He's describing the types of boat by mast and sail layout. You've got catboats with one mast and one primary sail, sloops with one mast and one headsail and one primary sail, cutters with one mast, one primary sail, and two or more headsails. Then you have two-masted ships, categorized by their mast arrangement. Tallest mast aft is a schooner, tallest mast forward with a much smaller mast aft of the rudder post is a yawl, and tallest mast forward with a mizzenmast closer to the size of the mainmast (and forward of the rudder post) is a ketch. For *all* of these, you can have any of several types of sail rig -- lateen sails, the commonly seen triangular Bermuda or Marconi sails, gaff sails, sprit sails, lug sails, and junk rigs So to properly describe a rig, you need both the sail type and the mast arrangement -- gaff-rigged schooner, Bermuda ketch, etc. There are other variations on two-masted ships, but these start with the variations on square-rigged ships, which are generally much larger, and require considerably more crew to sail.

You forgot the junk rig.

False: Cat rig is the least amount of sails and the simplest. You lost me with your first statement.

When it comes to ships, I find steamships really cool, obviously they're not environmentally friendly. Sailboats are more so. When it comes specifically to sailboats, I like how the old merchant ships did their sails.
