Their sloops were gaff-rigged. The first triangular <a href="/wiki/Mainsail" title="Mainsail">mainsails</a>, characteristic of the <a href="/wiki/Bermuda_rig" title="Bermuda rig">Bermuda rig</a>, were introduced on coastal vessels by the 1620s, but most sea-going vessels were gaff-rigged until the 1820s. The sloops were constructed in a range of sizes up to 70 feet (21 m). The most prevalent size for such sloops was in the range of 22 to 28 feet (6.7 to 8.5 m) on deck with a long <a href="/wiki/Bowsprit" title="Bowsprit">bowsprit</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Jamaican sloops<sup id="cite_ref-:3_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> had beams that were narrower than ocean-going Bermuda sloops, and could attain a speed of around 12 <a href="/wiki/Knot_(unit)" title="Knot (unit)">knots</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They carried gaff rig, whereas in modern usage, a Bermuda sloop excludes any gaff rig. Jamaican sloops were built usually out of <a href="/wiki/Cedrus" title="Cedrus">cedar</a> trees, for much the same reasons that Bermudian shipwrights favoured <a href="/wiki/Bermuda_cedar" class="mw-redirect" title="Bermuda cedar">Bermuda cedar</a>: these were very resistant to rot, grew very fast and tall, and had a taste displeasing to marine borers.<sup id="cite_ref-evans_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-evans-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Cedar was favoured over oak as the latter would rot in about 10 years, while cedar would last for nigh on 30 years and was considerably lighter than oak.<sup id="cite_ref-evans_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-evans-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When the ships needed to be de-fouled from seaweed and barnacles, pirates needed a safe haven on which to <a href="/wiki/Careening" title="Careening">careen</a> the ship. Sloops were well suited for this because they were able to sail in shallow areas where larger ships would either run aground or be unable to sail through at all. These shallow waters also provided protection from ships of the British <a href="/wiki/Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a>, which tended to be larger and required deep water to sail safely.<sup id="cite_ref-evans_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-evans-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Later in the 19th century, 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. Single-masted sloops quickly became the norm in Bermudian racing, with the introduction of hollow masts and other refinements.<sup id="cite_ref-Drower_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Drower-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<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. 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 19th century, moving freight, people, and everything else about. The rig was eventually adopted almost universally on small sailing craft in the 20th Century, 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_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Drower-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Merchant_and_privateering_use">Merchant and privateering use</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bermuda_sloop&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Merchant and privateering use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Bermuda sloop became the predominant type of sailing vessel both in the Bermudian colony and among <a href="/wiki/Sloop" title="Sloop">sloop rigs</a> worldwide as Bermudian traders visited foreign nations.

In service of the burgeoning shipbuilding industry, many Bermudian colonists began to cultivate <a href="/wiki/Bermuda_cedar" class="mw-redirect" title="Bermuda cedar">Bermuda cedar</a> instead of lucrative trade crops such as tobacco. The archipelago’s ruling <a href="/wiki/Somers_Isles_Company" title="Somers Isles Company">Somers Isles Company</a>, which favored tobacco agriculture, attempted to limit Bermudian shipbuilding, inciting demonstrations, appeals, and unrest.

Although many of these were sold abroad, the colony maintained its own large merchant fleet which, thanks partly to the domination of trade in many American seaboard ports by branches of wealthy Bermudian families and partly to the suitability and availability of Bermudian vessels, carried much of the produce exported from the American south to Bermuda and to the West Indies aboard Bermudian mostly slave-manned vessels sailed southwest (more-or-less upwind) to the <a href="/wiki/Turks_and_Caicos_Islands" title="Turks and Caicos Islands">Turk Islands</a>, where salt was harvested. This salt was carried to North American ports and sold at high profits. Bermudian vessels also developed a trade in moving goods such as grain, cocoa, brandy, wine and more from the <a href="/wiki/East_Coast_of_the_United_States" title="East Coast of the United States">Atlantic seaboard</a> colonies to the <a href="/wiki/West_Indies" title="West Indies">West Indies</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The threat of <a href="/wiki/Pirate" class="mw-redirect" title="Pirate">piracy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Privateering" class="mw-redirect" title="Privateering">privateering</a> was a large problem for mariners of all nations during the 17th and 18th centuries, but it was also as widely popular an enterprise. During wartime, much of Bermuda's merchant fleet turned to more lucrative labors: privateering. The evasive capabilities highly prized by merchantmen also made Bermuda sloops the ship of choice for the pirates themselves, earlier in the 18th century, as well as for smugglers.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They often carried sufficient crew out to return with several prizes, and these extra crew were useful both as movable ballast and in handling the labor-intensive sloops. The shape of the ship enabled Bermudian mariners to excel.

For most of the 17th century, Bermuda's agricultural economy was reliant on indentured servants. This meant that slavery did not play the same role as in many other colonies, though privateers based in Bermuda often brought enslaved blacks and Native Americans who had been captured along with ships of enemy nations. The first large influx of blacks was of free men who came as indentured servants in the middle of the century from former Spanish colonies in the West Indies (the increasing numbers of black, Spanish-speaking probable-Catholics alarmed the white Protestant majority, who were also alarmed by native Irish sent to Bermuda to be sold into servitude after the <a href="/wiki/Cromwellian_conquest_of_Ireland" title="Cromwellian conquest of Ireland">Cromwellian conquest of Ireland</a>, and measures were taken to discourage black immigration and to ban the importation of Irish). After 1684, Bermuda turned wholesale to a maritime economy, and slaves, black, Amerindian, and Irish (the various minorities merged into a single demographic group, known as <i>coloured</i>, which included anyone who was not defined as entirely of European extraction), played an increasing role in this. <a href="/wiki/Black_Bermudian" class="mw-redirect" title="Black Bermudian">Black Bermudians</a> became highly skilled shipwrights, blacksmiths and joiners. Many of the shipwrights who helped to develop shipbuilding in the American South, especially on the <a href="/wiki/Virginia" title="Virginia">Virginia</a> shore of the <a href="/wiki/Chesapeake_Bay" title="Chesapeake Bay">Chesapeake</a> (Bermuda, also known as <i>Virgineola</i>, had once been part of Virginia, and had maintained close connections ever since), were black Bermudian slaves, and the design and success of the area's schooners owes something to them, also.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Due to the large number of white Bermudian men who were away at sea at any one time (and possibly due as much to fear of the larger number of enslaved black Bermudian men left behind) it was mandated that blacks must make up a percentage of the crew of every Bermudian vessel.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By the American War of Independence, the use of many able black slaves as sailors added considerably to the power of the Bermudian merchant fleet due to their highly needed skill set, and these included the crews of Bermudian privateers. When the Americans captured the Bermudian privateer <i>Regulator</i>, they discovered that virtually all of her crew were black slaves. Authorities in Boston offered these men their freedom, but nearly all of the 70 captives elected to be treated as <a href="/wiki/Prisoner_of_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Prisoner of War">prisoners of war</a>, claiming slavery was all they knew and out of fear for their families who were still in Bermuda.

The term <i>Bermuda sloop</i> has come to be used outside Bermuda, today, to describe any single masted, Bermuda rigged boat, also known as <i>Marconi sloops</i>, although most are far less extreme in their design than was once the norm in Bermuda, with bowsprits omitted, masts vertical and shortened, and booms similarly shortened. Spinnaker booms and multiple jibs are rarely seen.
