-and-gaff
sail and a small triangular sail known as a _jib_, which is set on a
stay running from the masthead to the bow, or to the end of the
bowsprit. The _sloop_ rig is like the jib-and-mainsail rig but in
addition has a small sail known as a _topsail_ between the gaff and the
topmast; it may also have two or three other small triangular sails on
the forestays. When there are two of these the lowest is known as the
_fore staysail_, the next is the _jib_ and the third is the _flying
jib_. _Schooners_ are two-, three-, four-, five-, six- or even
seven-masted vessels with the masts fore-and-aft rigged and with jibs
like a sloop and with staysails between the various topmasts. In
schooners the various fore-and-aft sails are all of nearly the same size
with the sail on the rear mast the largest.

[Illustration: 1—KETCH RIG. 2—CAT YAWL RIG]

Two other rigs which have two masts and carry fore-and-aft sails are the
_ketch_ and the _yawl_. The ketch has a foremast rigged like that of a
sloop, or schooner, with a much smaller boom-and-gaff sail on a mast
near the stern, while the _yawl_ is practically the same with a still
smaller rear sail. If the rear mast or mizzen is placed _in front of the
sternpost_ the rig is the _ketch_ whereas if placed _behind the
sternpost_ it is a _yawl_ rig. There are also _cat yawls_ which have no
jibs and some ketches and yawls carry lugsails on both masts, or have a
boom and gaff mainsail and a lugsail mizzen or even a sprit, lateen,
leg-o’-mutton, gunter or other type of mizzen sail. Yawls and ketches
are at times rigged with leg-o’-mutton, lug, gunter or lateen sails on
both m
-and - gaff 
 sail and a small triangular sail known as a _ jib _, which is specify on a 
 arrest running from the masthead to the bow, or to the end of the 
 bowsprit. The _ sloop _ fishing gear is like the jib - and - mainsail outfit but in 
 addition has a little cruise known as a _ topsail _ between the gaff and the 
 topmast; it may also have two or three other small triangular sail on 
 the forestays. When there are two of these the abject is known as the 
 _ fore staysail _, the next is the _ jib _ and the third is the _ flying 
 jib _. _ Schooners _ are two-, three-, four-, five-, six- or even 
 seven - masted vessels with the mast fore - and - aft rigged and with jibs 
 like a sloop and with staysails between the versatile topmasts. In 
 schooners the various fore - and - aft sail are all of nearly the same size 
 with the sail on the rear mast the largest.

 Two early rigs which have two masts and carry fore - and - aft sails are the 
 _ ketch _ and the _ yawl _. The ketch hold a foremast rigged like that of a 
 sloop, or schooner, with a much smaller boom - and - gaff sail on a mast 
 near the stern, while the _ yawl _ is practically the same with a however 
 smaller rear sail. If the rear mast or mizzenmast is place _ in movement of the 
 sternpost _ the rig is the _ ketch _ whereas if placed _ behind the 
 sternpost _ it is a _ yawl _ outfit. There constitute also _ cat yawl _ which have no 
 jibs and some ketches and yawls carry lugsails on both mast, or have a 
 boom and gaff mainsail and a lugsail mizzen or even a sprit, lateen, 
 leg - o’-mutton, gunter or other character of mizzen cruise. Yawls and ketches 
 are at times rigged with leg - o’-mutton, lug, gunter or lateen sail on 
 both m
