	Bermuda Sloop Foundation
		Bermuda was a player at the hub of this developing “Atlantic World”; her population in 1700 was one tenth of the British Colonies in North America!
		The Bermuda Sloop was a distinct vessel type designed for speed in the early Atlantic World for fast cargo carrying, privateering and the “illegal trades”.
		Downwind in a seaway, the sloop was prone to “synchronous rolling”, which unchecked, could culminate with the sloop spinning out and laying down in the water.

		A sloop is a sailing boat that has one mast, the stick that sits up in the boat, and at least two sails attached to that mast.

		The Model Sloop Museum is to be a comfortable and inviting area for locals and visitors to relax and examine the history of the model sloops still existent in the Turks and Caicos.

	Bermuda sloop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A large problem in the 17th and 18th centuries was the possibility of pirate attacks, so the extra speed of the Bermuda sloops was highly prized amongst merchantmen.
		The ability of the sloop rig in general to sail upwind also meant that Bermuda sloops could outrun most other sailing ships by simply turning upwind and leaving their pursuers foundering in the wake.
		The commercial success of the Bermuda sloop must be credited in part to the contribution of many hundreds of slaves on the island.

		Most corvettes and sloops of the 17th century were around 40 to 60 feet (12 to 18 meters) in length and weighed 40 to 70 tons.
		From the Dutch word Jol, this type of ship is a two-masted sailing craft similar to a sloop or cutter but with an additional mizzen mast well aft of the main mast, often right on the transom.

	10 to 14 gun ships anyone? - Page 5 - Flying Lab Software Forums
		The fact remains that one of the very few surviving plans of a Bermuda type single mast sloop (Bermuda sloops were related to and apparently derived from the earlier Jamaica sloop), that of the Virginia built Mediator from 1741, clearly shows seven gunports to a side (for a total of 14 gunports, of course).
		This sloop had a length on deck of 61 feet, 4 inches, keel length for tonnage of 44 feet, breadth inside the planking at deck level 20 feet 11 inches, depth of hold 9 feet 9 inches, and a tonnage of 105 tons.
		Actually, single masted sloops DID get to over 80 or even 100 feet long and were know to have over 16 guns, but they were rare and sometimes troublesome to handle, especially for the time when shipbuilding matierials were relaively crude.

		I read somewhere that schooners used to rake their masts so to have the booms raised while sailing on reaches and having the sails eased - thus not dragging the booms in the water.
		But with the Sprit of Bermuda there is only one boom on the aft mast, so maybe there is another explanation - other than it looks cool.
