Schooner Class

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. Schooners have a smaller beam to help make them fast.

Although ships with square-rigged sails are excellent for long voyages before trade winds, they are poor for coastal sailing, where all varieties of winds must be dealt with. Schooners, handle better in coastal winds, have shallower drafts for shallow waters, and require a smaller crew in proportion to their size.
