How to use "Sloop" in context?
The sloop is a small sailing vessel characterized by its narrow beam, gaff-rigged mast and rowing deck. The term sloop came from its predecessor, the rigorously rigged ship of the line, which had a main mast that was too wide for the narrower channels in the English Channel. Sloops were faster and more agile than their larger cousins, able to take advantage of tighter sailing lanes.
