    A Barquentine is a boat with a rig defined by square sails on both forward masts, a fore and aft sail in the mizzen and staysails in between. The hull can be of many types. If you are planning on building one this month, you may be unrealistic of the pre-planning it takes. By your question, I think you don't have much knowledge of ships. I may be wrong, though, what is your shipbuilding and rigging experience?

    I find the name intersting "Barquentine"; the root word Barq is a very ancinet likely indo-european word (pre written language), it appears in many ancient languages like Greek and Latin and many others. In medeval eurpope they called the small coastal trading vessels "barks", like from the same root word. We even use it in modern English as in to "disembark" or to "embark" to get on or off an airplane or ship or other vehicle. It was likely just the ancient word for boat, but what makes the "barquentine" specific to a particular type? Curious how ancient words seem to hang around for so long.

    Some cultures build boats out of bark from the tree, maybe there's a link to disembark/embark? Jeff.

    No rush!

    A Barkentine can be rigged with 2 or 3 masts.

    I think that might be a brig or brigantine.

    A barque is a vessel with at least three masts, all of them fully square rigged except for the sternmost one, which is fore-and-aft rigged.

    A barquentine is a vessel with at least three masts, all of them fore-and-aft rigged, except for the foremost one, which is square rigged.

    A brig is a two-masted vessel with both masts square rigged. On the aft mast, the main mast, there is also a gaff sail, in some languages referred to as the brig sail but in English often called the spanker.

    A brigantine is a two-masted vessel with her foremast fully square rigged and her mainmast rigged with both a fore-and-aft mainsail (usually a gaff sail) and square topsails (and possibly topgallant sails).

    I just started the Hobby, i built a sailboat with 2 masts "with no plans", but i started building one more sailboat , this time i used hull plans, and i think it will be much more accurate, since i just bought some rigging materials yesterday and will post some photos after i'm done with it.
