==Trivia==
*It is named after Cutter style of sailing ships. The history of these ships can be traced to the early days of sailing. The designation "cutter" derives from the nautical term "cut," which pertains to the action of trimming a sail. Traditionally, cutter ships were extensively employed by naval forces, privateers, and commercial traders because of their remarkable agility and velocity. They were instrumental in maritime commerce, exploration, and naval conflicts.<ref>https://www.yachting.com/en-gb/blog/what-is-a-cutter-ship-unveiling-the-secrets-of-these-vessels</ref>
