Faster Design Cutter or Schooner
"Oh how it scoons!" said the Dutch lady, because that's how they would say 'scoots' = fast in Dutch.
So, the design of the
boat
supports the intention by the
sails
, and which is traditionally the faster
boat
? A
Cutter
or a Schooner?

Re: Faster Design Cutter or Schooner
Cutters do well on a close reach
Schooners to well on a broad reach
(as a gross generalisation, all other things being equal)

Re: Faster Design Cutter or Schooner
Schooners are sexier, and for the same size, have smaller/more
sails
.

Re: Faster Design Cutter or Schooner
Cutters will generally go to
weather
better than a schooner but a broad reach on a schooner is a blast. The
photo
above is the "Californian", I was her
captain
for most of 1996, a kick
offshore
on a broad reach.

I think this is a fair question. Key phrase is 'intention of the design.'
