cutter, a term which embraces a variety of small vessels.
1. In its older meaning it referred to a small, decked ship with one mast and a
bowsprit, with a
gaff mainsail on a boom, a square
yard and
topsail, and two
jibs or a jib and a
staysail. The rig was introduced in about 1740. These vessels, armed with up to ten 4-pounder guns, were relatively fast on the wind and were employed mainly as
auxiliaries to the war fleets and in the preventive service against
smuggling. Later they were widely used by
Trinity House, which still class their light
tenders and
pilot vessels as cutters.
2. A
clinker-built ship's boat, 7.3–9.3 metres (24–32 ft) long, with 8–14
oars. It was originally rigged with two masts with a
dipping lug foresail and a
standing lug mainsail, giving way in the 20th century to a single mast with a
de Horsey rig.
3. A powered vessel of about 2,000 tonnes used by the
US Coast Guard for a variety of purposes.
