[edit] Historical Notes
The cutter was originally called a large sloop, with what we now just call a sloop being referred to as a small sloop. The names were changed in late beta.
The cargo hatch at the aft of the boat was not present until February, 2004, and did not function until two subsequent patches.
When a pirate working the gunning stations could chose to work on two, four, or six guns at a time, the cutter only had six guns to load. When the guns were fixed to four-gun boards as part of beta release 17 (The Fruits of Our Labor), the large sloop was given two extra guns, bringing her armament up to eight cannons. However, no additional duty stations were added. (There wasn't any need, really, as you never fill all the gunning stations before all the guns are allocated.) As a result, to this day a cutter captain has eight guns at his disposal but only six on deck. Beware the phantom guns.
During much of beta, a large sloop could be soloed quite easily, as one NPP was sufficient for carpentry and no water leaked into the bilge unless the vessel was damaged. It is still possible, but not easy, to solo a cutter on trade runs.
