A masthead sloop is a type of sailing vessel characterized by its single mast, which supports a foresail (jib) and a mainsail. In this design, the forestay (the cable or wire that supports the mast at the front) extends to the top of the mast, providing stability and allowing for larger headsails. Masthead sloops are known for their strong performance in various wind conditions and are popular among cruising and racing sailors alike. Their rigging layout also allows for easier handling and versatility on the water.
