- For other uses, see Brig (disambiguation).
In sailing, a brig is a vessel with two masts at least one of which is square rigged.
In modern parlance, a brig is square rigged on both masts, and this is the standard name for such a vessel.
Previously, brig has been used as an abbreviation of brigantine, which in modern parlance is the standard name for a principally fore-and-aft two-masted rig with a square rigged foremast but which also has other historical meanings. See brigantine, brig sloop.
