schooner
In a maritime context, this term describes a specific rigging configuration. It is distinguished from a ketch or a yawl by the specific height and placement of the masts and the use of fore-and-aft sails, which allow the vessel to sail closer to the wind than square-rigged ships.
In a social or hospitality context, the term refers to a specific style of glassware. This usage is most prevalent in Australia and parts of the UK, where it denotes a standard serving size for beer, typically smaller than a pint but larger than a pot or half-pint.
