Editing Lugger (section)

==History==
A lugger is usually a two- or three-masted vessel, setting [[lug sail]]s on each mast.{{efn|There are some single-masted lug-rigged craft that are referred to as luggers, including the [[New Orleans Lugger]] (or Oyster Lugger).{{r|Leather 1989|pp=358–363}}}} A jib or staysail may be set on some luggers. More rarely, lug topsails are used by some luggers — notably the [[chasse-marée]]. A lug sail is an asymmetric quadrilateral sail that fastens to a yard (spar) along the head (top edge) of the sail. The yard is held to the mast either by a [[Parrel beads|parrel]] or by a traveller (consisting of a metal ring that goes round the mast and has an eye for the halyard and a hook which fastens to a strop on the yard). A [[Lug sail#Types|dipping lug sail]] is fastened at the tack (front lower corner) some distance in front of the mast, often at the {{tooltip|2=the top of the stem, the (roughly vertical) extension of the keel at the bow; therefore the upper-most and most forward part of the hull|stemhead}}. A [[Lug sail#Types|standing lug's]] tack is fastened near the foot of the mast. The halyard for a dipping lug is usually made fast to the weather gunwale, thereby allowing the mast to be otherwise unstayed. A common arrangement is to have a dipping lug foresail and a standing lug mizzen.{{efn|Because two-masted traditional British luggers were often derived from earlier three-masted versions, the forward mast on these two-masted vessels was called the foremast and the after mast the mizzen, the main mast having been dispensed with.{{r|Leather 1989|p=120}}<ref name="March 1969">{{cite book |last1=March |first1=Edgar J |title=Sailing Drifters: The Story of the Herring Luggers of England, Scotland and the Isle of Man |date=1969 |publisher=David & Charles |location=Newton Abbott |isbn=0-7153-4679-2}}</ref>{{rp|19}}}} This arrangement is found on many traditional British fishing vessels, such as the [[fifie]], but there are examples of dipping lugs on two masts or standing lugs on two or three masts (as in the chasse-marée).<ref name="Leather 1989">{{cite book |last1=Leather |first1=John |title=Spritsails and Lugsails |date=1979 |publisher=International Marine Publishing Company |location=Camden, Maine |isbn=0877429987 |edition=1989 reissue}}</ref>{{rp|15-27, 62-70}}{{r|Barnes 2014|p=36}}[[File:Luggers at Looe Bay - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Luggers at Looe Bay, showing use of jib and topsails]]
