		American revenue cutters differed from the British version in that the American cutters were two-masted and wore topsails, the rig that was so successful in evading the British frigates before the revolution.

		The cutter was certainly fast under sail, but in mercantile and naval service as a fast, maid of all work, had retained the traditonal bluff and tubby and liberally timbered hull form that was literally pushed through the water by a vast acreage of canvas carried aloft.
		This was an essential characteristic of the cutter for it meant when either close to the wind or with the wind over the stern the hull had sufficient buoyancy forward to preventing the bow plunging or porpoising.
		The revenue cutters in comparison, though often built by the builders of smuggling cutters, were constructed to usual commercial standards of scantling size suitable to face the rigours of many years in service, for then as now the Treasury demanded value for money.
