A sloop's headsail may be masthead-rigged or fractional-rigged. On a masthead-rigged sloop, the forestay (on which the headsail is carried) attaches at the top of the mast. On a fractional-rigged sloop, the forestay attaches to the mast at a point below the top. A sloop may use a bowsprit, a spar that projects forward from the bow.
The masthead rig has larger and more headsails, and a smaller mainsail, compared to the fractional rig. The major advantage a masthead sloop has over a fractional one, is that the jib is larger. Since the jib has no mast in front of it to cause turbulent airflow over it, it is considered much more efficient than the main, especially for sailing ...
Air draught: masthead height in metres Sail Area: summed upwind surface area of mainsail and headsails in square metres Displacement: displaced volume of water, upright, at rest, in metric tonnes Hull material: build material of the hull Propulsion: number of engines and their power in kilowatts
