This term is used predominantly on Square Rig ged vessels, referring to the largest and lowest sail on each mast (mizzen-course, main-course and fore-course). Gaff-rigged vessels might possibly use the term (for the lowest sail rigged aft of each mast), but are more likely to refer simply to a mainsail, foresail, etc. A Bermuda - or lateen-rigged yacht, whether Sloop , Cutter , Ketch or Yawl , would not usually be described as having a course. |
