The “'''hermaphrodite brig'''”, sometime known as a “brig-schooner” is a cross between a brig and the historic brigantine. It carries only '''fore-and-aft''' sails on the mainmast, whereas the brig is square-rigged and the “true” brigantine carries square-rigged top-sails above the spanker. Just to complicate things further, these days the hermaphrodite brig is also known as a brigantine.
