==Local types== {{More citations needed section|date=February 2021}} ;British Isles * [[Coble]], used on the English east coast from [[Yorkshire]] to [[Northumberland]] *Five Man boats, large 55–65 foot boats used for line fishing on the Yorkshire coast * [[Cornwall|Cornish]] lugger * Deal lugger, the two larger types of boat used by [[Deal, Kent#Boatmen|Deal boatmen]] to service ships anchored in [[The Downs (ship anchorage)|the Downs]]. These were beach-launched open boats, originally three masted, but the main-mast was later dispensed with to allow more room, ultimately giving [[Jib sail|jib]], dipping lug [[foresail]] and a standing lug mizzen sheeted to an [[outrigger]]. A first-class lugger or "fore-peaker" was typically 38 feet long, 12 ft 3 inches at greatest beam, carried 6 tons of ballast in a [[Clinker (boat building)|clinker-built hull]] weighing 3.5 tons. They could carry a replacement [[anchor]] and cable out to a large ship – a load of at least six tons.{{r|Leather 1989|pp=113-147}}<ref name="March 1970v2">{{cite book |last1=March |first1=Edgar J. |title=Inshore Craft of Great Britain in the Days of Sail and Oar |date=1970 |volume=2 |publisher=Chatham Publishing |location=London |isbn=1-86176-269-0 |edition=2005}}</ref>{{rp|55–123}} * [[Fifie]], a herring drifter of the Scottish east coast * [[Hastings]] lugger * Manx nickey * [[Nobby (boat)#Manx nobby|Manx nobby]][[File:Corenting-IMG 9716.JPG|thumb|right|''Corentin'', a replica ''chasse-marée'']] * [[Sgoth Niseach]], dipping lug ;Continental Europe * ''[[Barca-longa]]'', of the [[Iberian Peninsula|Iberian]] and [[Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean]] coasts * Breton ''[[chasse-marée]]''. These were fast-sailing cargo vessels that took fresh fish to market, sometimes taking general cargo for the return trip. They set standing lugs on three masts and a jib. Topsails were often used and topgallants when racing. * French lugger (''lougre''), of the coast of [[Normandy]] ;United States of America * ''New Orleans Lugger''[[File:Oyster Luggers in New Orleans.jpg|thumb|Oyster Luggers in New Orleans]] (also known as an ''Oyster Lugger''). These shallow draft vessels were typically 37 ft overall with a 12 ft beam, although they could vary substantially in size. They set a dipping lug on a single mast and had a centre board to help go to windward in deeper waters. They were used principally for fishing, with some cargoes occasionally carried. They could be found from Texas to the West coast of Florida.<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|358–363}} ;Australia * Some of the early [[pearling lugger]]s used off the northern coast line of Australia from about the 1870s, often ship's boats, carried a lug sail, but the purpose-built boats that were used from the 1880s stopped using it over time.
