What does LUGGER mean in Scrabble?
noun
nautical
A small sailing boat, typically with two or three masts, rigged with lugsails for fishing or coastal trade.
A lugger takes its name from the lugsail, a four-cornered sail hung asymmetrically from a yard that lets a small crew handle it without much fuss. Fishing communities along the English Channel and the Atlantic coast of France built luggers by the hundreds during the nineteenth century, prizing them for speed and easy handling in choppy coastal waters. Smugglers also favored the lugger for the same reasons, since a fast, low boat could slip past customs patrols at night.
