The Dutch were influenced by Moorish <a href="/wiki/Lateen_rig" class="mw-redirect" title="Lateen rig">lateen rigs</a> introduced during Spain's rule of their country. The Dutch eventually modified the design by omitting the masts, with the yard arms of the lateens being <i>stepped in thwarts</i>. By this process, the yards became raked masts. Lateen sails mounted this way were known as <i>leg-of-mutton</i> sails in English. The Dutch called a vessel rigged in this manner a <span title="Dutch-language text"><i lang="nl">bezaanjacht</i></span> (<abbr style="font-size:85%" title="literal translation">lit.</abbr><span style="white-space: nowrap;"> </span><span class="gloss-quot">'</span><span class="gloss-text"><a href="/wiki/Mizzen" class="mw-redirect" title="Mizzen">mizzen</a> yacht</span><span class="gloss-quot">'</span>).

These early Bermuda rigged boats evidently lacked jibs or booms, and the masts appear not to have been as robust as they were to become (a boat rigged with a Bermuda or gaff mainsail and no jib would today be known as a <a href="/wiki/Catboat" title="Catboat">catboat</a>). In 1675, Samuel Fortrey, of <a href="/wiki/Kew" title="Kew">Kew</a>, wrote to the naval administrator and <a href="/wiki/Member_of_Parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="Member of Parliament">Member of Parliament</a>, <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Pepys" title="Samuel Pepys">Samuel Pepys</a>, a treatise entitled <i>Of Navarchi</i>, suggesting the improvement of the <i>Bermoodn</i> rig with the addition of a boom, but evidently nothing came of this. Bermudian builders did introduce these innovations themselves, though when they first appeared has been lost to record.<sup id="cite_ref-Drower_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Drower-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By the 1800s, the design of Bermudian vessels had largely dispensed with square topsails and gaff rig, replacing them with triangular main sails and jibs. The Bermuda rig had traditionally been used on vessels with two or more masts, with the gaff rig favoured for single-masted vessels. The reason for this was the increased height necessary for a single mast, which led to too much canvas. The solid wooden masts at that height were also too heavy, and not sufficiently strong. This changed when the boats began to be raced in the early 1800s. H. G. Hunt, a naval officer (and possibly the Henry G. Hunt who was the Acting <a href="/wiki/Governor_of_Bermuda" title="Governor of Bermuda">Governor of Bermuda</a> in 1835) concluded in the 1820s that a single-masted sloop would be superior to the schooner he had been racing and was proved correct when the yacht he had commissioned won a secret race against a schooner the night before a public race, and the public race itself the following day. Single-masted sloops quickly became the norm in Bermudian racing, with the introduction of hollow masts and other refinements.<sup id="cite_ref-Drower_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Drower-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The colony's lightweight <a href="/wiki/Juniperus_bermudiana" title="Juniperus bermudiana">Bermuda cedar</a> vessels were widely prized for their agility and speed, especially upwind.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The high, raked masts and long bowsprits and booms favoured in Bermuda allowed its vessels of all sizes to carry vast areas of sail when running down-wind with spinnakers and multiple jibs, allowing great speeds to be reached. Bermudian work boats, mostly small sloops, were ubiquitous on the archipelago's waters in the 1800s, moving freight, people, and everything else about. The rig was eventually adopted almost universally on small sailing craft in the 1900s, although as seen on most modern vessels it is very much less extreme than on traditional Bermudian designs, with lower, vertical masts, shorter booms, omitted bowsprits, and much less area of canvas.<sup id="cite_ref-Drower_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Drower-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The term <i>Marconi rig</i> was first applied to the tall Bermuda rig used on larger racing yachts, such as the <a href="/wiki/J-class_yacht#Universal_Rule" class="mw-redirect" title="J-class yacht">J class</a> used since 1914 for the <a href="/wiki/America%27s_Cup" title="America's Cup">America's Cup</a> international yacht races, as - with the many supporting cables required - it reminded observers of <a href="/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi" title="Guglielmo Marconi">Guglielmo Marconi</a>'s mast-like <a href="/wiki/Wireless#Radio" title="Wireless">wireless</a> <a href="/wiki/Antenna_(radio)" title="Antenna (radio)">antennas</a> (Marconi's first demonstrations in the United States took place in the autumn of 1899, with the reporting of the America's Cup at New York).
