"A couple of years ago I had a seven-ton cutter-rigged yacht, the Banshee, and we ran over to Madeira from Falmouth." ❋ Doyle, Arthur Conan, Sir, 1859-1930 (1982)
She was full cutter-rigged, spreading hundreds of feet of canvas. ❋ Bertrand W. Sinclair (1926)
His boat may have been 6 or 7 mètres long and 3 mètres wide; she was cutter-rigged, and was probably very suitable for a trip of a few days, but quite insufficient for a cruise of several weeks, such as we were planning. ❋ Felix Speiser (1914)
Of course, she could not run as near to the wind as a cutter-rigged yacht of the racing class, but she could do better than the ordinary cutter. ❋ Burt L. Standish (1905)
Up to now he had always run his stuff in goodish-sized vessels -- luggers or cutter-rigged craft running up to fifty or sixty tons as we should reckon now. ❋ Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch (1903)
She was a cutter-rigged vessel, painted a greyish-white, and of about fifty tons burden. ❋ Fitzgerald, F Scott (1899)
I looked in the direction indicated, and saw a long low-hulled craft, cutter-rigged, with what struck me as a set of spars altogether disproportionate to her size. ❋ Harry Collingwood (1886)
A cutter-rigged craft is more powerful than any other, but it is open to the objection that the mainsail -- the cutter's most important sail -- is an awkward sail to handle in a sudden emergency, if the craft happens to be short-handed, as we should be. ❋ Harry Collingwood (1886)
She was a cutter-rigged craft, long and low in the water, under close canvas, and to my thinking wonderfully light and handy in the heavy sea. ❋ Talbot Baines Reed (1872)
Ours was a twenty-ton, half-decked, cutter-rigged sort of thing, built for nothing in particular, and always used for everything. ❋ Juliana Horatia Gatty Ewing (1863)
In our engraving we have several cutter-rigged yachts sailing with a light _side_ wind, with main-sail, gaff, fore-sail, and jib set. ❋ R. [Illustrator] Richardson (1859)
You observe that this yacht is cutter-rigged, and that she sits gracefully on the smooth water. ❋ Frederick Marryat (1820)
She was cutter-rigged, might have been of forty tons burthen, was so neatly constructed and painted as to have something of the air of a vessel of war, though entirely without quarters, and rigged and sparred with so scrupulous a regard to proportions and beauty, as well as fitness and judgment, as to give her an appearance that even Mabel at once distinguished to be gallant and trim. ❋ James Fenimore Cooper (1820)
The sight of the cutter-rigged smack lying with her bowsprit pointing to the wind, and her white mainsail flapping and quivering in the breeze, which seemed to send mimic waves chasing each other along it from mast to edge, while the jib lay all of a heap waiting to be hoisted, being one that would have roused the most phlegmatic to a desire to have a cruise, and see some of the wonders of the deep dredged up. ❋ George Manville Fenn (1870)
"This is a cutter-rigged boat, because it has three sails and only one mast. ❋ Unknown (1892)
