chained_bear commented on the word koff
"A Dutch vessel of burden, with a main and foremast, and a large spritsail set abaft each. Thus they sail very close to the wind; but when the wind is aft, they carry flying topsails and a square-sail upon the foremast, and upon the bowsprit two or three jibs."
