Lugger

Lugger, a vessel of one, two, or three masts, carrying on each a quadrilateral lug-sail bent upon a yard that hangs to the mast obliquely, from a point at about one-third of its length. There is generally a running bowsprit; and large luggers have two or three jibs, as well as lug-shaped topsails. Many ships' boats are rigged as luggers, such boats doing well when close-hauled, and sailing very near the wind.
