A '''lugger''' is a [[Sailboat|sailing vessel]] defined by its [[Sail plan|rig]], using the [[lug sail]] on all of its one or more [[mast (sailing)|masts]]. Luggers were widely used as working craft, particularly off the coasts of [[France]], [[England]], [[Ireland]] and [[Scotland]]. Luggers varied extensively in size and design. Many were undecked, open boats, some of which operated from beach landings (such as [[Hastings]] or [[Deal, Kent|Deal]]). Others were fully decked craft (typified by the Zulu and many other sailing [[Drifter (fishing boat)|drifters]]). Some larger examples might carry lug [[topsail]]s.<ref name="Chatham Directory">{{cite book |editor1-last=Greenhill |editor1-first=Basil |editor2-last=Mannering |editor2-first=Julian |title=The Chatham Directory of Inshore Craft: Traditional Working Vessels of the British Isles |date=1997 |publisher=Chatham Publishing |location=London |isbn=1-86176-029-9}}</ref>
