A single-masted sailing boat with one main sail and a jib, commonly used for pleasure cruising and racing.
Where the word comes from
A sloop is a sailing vessel with one mast, named from the Dutch *sloep*, a small, swift ship used in 17th-century Dutch waters. The Dutch word itself likely derives from a Scandinavian source, possibly related to Old Norse *slúpr*, meaning to slip or glide—fitting for a nimble craft. English sailors adopted both the ship design and its Dutch name during the age of maritime expansion.
