A yawl Or ketch
Sloop, cutter, or possibly day-sailer.
Usually A single masted sailboat is a sloop, but there are different types of sloops, such as one with two sails up front and it is called a cutter. It is still a sloop though, just a version of a sloop. In modern boats two masts would be either a ketch, yawl or schooner, but that's a whole other discussion.

a dinghy would be a small (6 to 16 foot) sailboat, these can have almost any sail rig. the type of rig you described is called a sloop. a sloop is a sailboat with a triangular mainsail and a jib (this sail configuration is called a marconi rig, or bermudian rig), and are very common. so a small, one masted vessel with a mainsail and jib would just be called a sloop, or dinghy.
