These vessels are today usually called brigantines, but strictly speaking a true brigantine should have square topsails on her main topmast.
The hermaphrodite brig can be said to belong to the family of schooners; in Scandinavian languages the hermaphrodite brig is often referred to as a `square sail schooner.'
There are several hermaphrodite brigs that are still sailing, for example the beautiful wooden Søren Larsen.
