| Cutter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (241 words) |
 | A classic cutter is any sailing vessel with two or more head sails and a mast which is set further aft (to the rear of the vessel) than that of a sloop. |
| Historically, a cutter is any vessel used in law enforcement duties of Great Britain's Royal Customs Service, United States Department of the Treasury's Revenue Cutter Service (1790 to 1915) which merged in 1915 to become United States Coast Guard, or the equivalent in other fleets. |
| Cutters in the modern Coast Guard are fast, lightly-armed and frequently used in patrol work. |
