Cutter Rig
Aussi connu sous : cutter, double headsail
A sail plan configuration with two or more headsails set forward of the mast. A true cutter has the inner forestay (for the staysail) set at approximately 7-10% of LOA aft of the bow. Cutter rigs offer versatile sail combinations for different conditions and easier reefing, making them popular for bluewater cruisers.

Sloop Rig
The most common modern sail plan, featuring a single mast and two sails: a mainsail and a headsail (genoa or jib). Sloop rigs are simple, efficient, and easy to handle, making them ideal for most cruising and racing applications. Most production yachts under 50 feet use sloop rigs.

Ketch Rig
A two-masted sail plan with the main mast forward and a shorter mizzen mast aft. Ketches offer smaller, more manageable sails and the ability to balance the boat under mizzen and headsail alone. Historically popular for long-distance cruising, though less common in modern production due to added complexity and weight.
