	Sloop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sailing, a sloop is a vessel with a single mast on which is hoisted a fore-and-aft rigged mainsail and a single jib, plus extras such as a spinnaker.
		To maximize the amount of sail carried, the classical sloop may use a bowsprit, which is essentially a fixed boom that projects from the front of the boat.
		Sloops in their modern form were developed by the French to run British blockades.
