BRIG SAILBOAT
A brig is a sailing vessel with two square-rigged masts. During the Age of Sail, brigs were seen
as fast and maneuverable and were used as both naval warships and merchant vessels. They
were especially popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Brigs fell out of use with the
arrival of the steam ship because they required a relatively large crew for their small size and
were difficult to sail into the wind. Their rigging differs from that of a brigantine, which has a
gaff-rigged mainsail while a brig has a square mainsail with an additional gaff-rigged spanker
behind the mainsail.
