This illustration of a Norwegian Jaegt dates to the 1890s. The vessel has a single mast, a square sail, square topsail, and a bonnet to the square sail. The word "yacht" is derived from the Norwegian jaegt. From these vessels was evolved the cutter, a single-masted craft rigged with fore-and-aft mainsail, foresail, and jib, carrying a square topsail and sometimes a topgallant sail over it.
