Fore-and-after is a type of sailing vessel that has two masts and a gaff-rigged mainsail. The fore-and-after is similar to a SLOOP, which has one mast and a Bermuda rig, and a KETCH, which has two masts and a mizzen sail. The fore-and-after is distinguished by its gaff-rigged mainsail, which is a four-sided sail with a boom at the bottom. The SLOOP and KETCH solutions for the term fore-and-after are five letter words: SLOOP and KETCH.
