jsharr ★ Posted November 19, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 19, 2021 Most of those are cutters, not sloops, due to the muliple head stays for multiple head sails. The more common sloop rig is the bermuda rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any boat with more than one head stay, or capable of carrying a headsail and a stay sail in front of the mast is not a sloop. I cannot make out the detail on the boats in the back or the boat to windward, so I cannot speak on every boat in that picture, but of the ones I can see, they are all cutters.

A sloop is a sailboat with a single mast[1] typically having only one headsail in front of the mast and one mainsail aft of (behind) the mast.[note 1] Such an arrangement is called a fore-and-aft rig, and can be rigged as a Bermuda rig with triangular sails fore and aft, or as a gaff-rig with triangular foresail(s) and a gaff rigged mainsail. Sailboats can be classified according to type of rig, and so a sailboat may be a sloop, catboat, cutter, ketch, yawl, or schooner.[2] A sloop usually has only one headsail, although an exception is the Friendship sloop, which is usually gaff-rigged with a bowsprit and multiple headsails.[3] If the vessel has two or more headsails, the term cutter may be used,[4] especially if the mast is stepped further towards the back of the boat.
