A sloop is a type of sailboat characterized by a single mast and a fore-and-aft rigging configuration. It typically has one headsail, known as a jib or genoa, and a mainsail. The sloop's design allows for maneuverability and versatility, making it popular for both racing and cruising. The symbol "🛶" represents a canoe, which is a narrow and open watercraft propelled by paddles.
