A brig is one type of two-masted sailing vessel. More specifically, a brig is a vessel with two square-rigged masts. This means that the two masts have square sails, as opposed to a vessel that is Bermuda-rigged (triangle-shaped sails).

There are other types of two-masted sailing vessels:

Brigantine

Brig or Brig-schooner

Ketch

Koch (type not based on rigging)

Schooner

Yawl.

Of these, the ketch, schooner, and yawl still remain somewhat popular today.
