MONOHULL: A boat with one hull.
MOONCUSSER: Legendary opportunists who lured vessels onto shoals during nights when there was no moonlight to illuminate the coastline.

Monohull yachts are typically fitted with a fixed or adjustable keel below the waterline to counterbalance the overturning force of wind on the vessel's sails.

Monohull yachts are typically fitted with a fixed keel or a centerboard (adjustable keel) below the waterline to counterbalance the overturning force of wind on the vessel's sails.

Catamaran sailboats are known for their ability to plane and are faster than single hulled boats (monohulls) in some conditions.
Cat Boat A sailboat rigged with one mast and one sail.

Since most monohull sailboats cannot exceed their hull speed, longer boats are faster. Displacement The weight of a boat measured as a the weight of the amount of water it displaces.

Because a cat offers less resistance to the water than a monohull, it takes more time to slow down than a monohull. So make sure the boat has completely stopped.
Keep the boat straight into the wind, using the engines at idle speed.

Well, some things are still used in the present, but I don't come across them much in the subset of sailing (monohull small-sport-boat racing) that I engage in... things like mizzen mainsails, staysails, and gybe-preventers come to mind.

Catamaran
A twin-hulled boat. Catamaran sailboats are known for their ability to plane and are faster than single-hulled boats (monohulls) in some conditions.
Caulking
Material used to seal the seams in a wooden vessel, making it watertight.

The theoretical speed that a boat can travel without planing, based on the shape of its hull. This speed is 1.34 times the length of a boat at its waterline. Since most monohull sailboats cannot exceed their hull speed, longer boats are faster.

Mizzen - the shorter mast behind the main mast on a ketch or yawl.
Monohull -A boat with one hull.
