A barquentine or schooner barque (alternatively "barkentine" or "schooner bark") is a sailing vessel with three or more masts; with a square rigged foremast and fore-and-aft rigged main, mizzen and any other masts.
A sloop can outrun a galleon as long as the galleon's three sails don't catch the wind. The larger sails and potential top speed of a galleon means a sloop can run but they can rarely stop.
The Sloop was a favourable ship for pirates and smugglers alike. Her size could be as large as 100 tons. They ranged from 35' to 65' long (11-20m long) and had 3 decks - the surface deck, the hold, and the bilge. This relatively small vessel could carry around 75 (up to 150) pirates and 14 cannons on the surface deck.
As a rig, a yawl is a two masted, fore and aft rigged sailing vessel with the mizzen mast positioned abaft (behind) the rudder stock, or in some instances, very close to the rudder stock. This is different from a ketch, where the mizzen mast is forward of the rudder stock.
A schooner is a small sea-going fore-and-aft rigged vessel (versus squared rigged), originally with only two masts, carrying one or more topsails. This is a drawing of a typical one masted sloop and a typical two masted schooner. The brigantine would look something like a schooner, but be somewhat larger.
A ketch is a two-masted sailboat whose mainmast is taller than the mizzen mast (or aft-mast), generally in a 40-foot or bigger boat. The name ketch is derived from catch. The ketch's main mast is usually stepped in the same position as in a sloop.
An extra mast and rigging makes the boat heavier. Ketches will be slower than their sloop counterparts. However, you'll be reefing later as the wind picks up so you can really ramp up a ketch rig. A ketch has two masts so double the rigging maintenance and replacement costs.
A sloop rig has 1 mast, with a jib and mainsail. A cutter is a sloop with 2 foresails(jib, staysail) and a mainsail. A ketch has 2 masts. A schooner has 2 masts, the 2nd mast is taller.
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.
A gaff is a spar, or a strong pole. A gaff rig employs a spar on the top of the sail and typically other sails can be set in conjunction with that mainsail with the gaff. These rigs weren't so wonderful upwind, so when the bermuda rig was introduced, with their efficiency and simplicity, the gaff rig fell out of favor.
Ketch rigs hold a special place in many a cruising sailor's heart. They are two masted rigs with a main mast and a (smaller) mizzenmast – they carry a jib just like a sloop. Generally, ketches will be in the 40-plus foot range.
A sloop is generally faster and sails closer to the wind. Sloops have fewer sails than ketches to buy and maintain. With a sloop, there is less standing and running rigging with one mast, which means there is less to manage and maintain overall.
Schooner – a sailing vessel with fore and aft sails on three masts.
One advantage is that, compared to a single large genoa, the two smaller headsails of the cutter rig produce a lower centre of gravity and therefore heeling angle. This means that the boat sails more upright and reduces the risk of capsizing, facilitating easier handling in varying weather conditions.
No reason you can't single hand a ketch as long as it is designed for single/short handed sailing.
A sailboat with one mast is usually a sloop with one mainsail and one headsail. A cutter rig usually has one mast but two or more headsails. Schooners also have multiple masts—two or more. However, the foremost mast is shorter than the main mast.
Schooner, a sailing ship rigged with fore-and-aft sails on its two or more masts. To the foremast there may also be rigged one or more square topsails or, more commonly, one or more jib sails or Bermuda sails (triangular sails extending forward to the bowsprit or jibboom).
