Double masted vessels with a smaller foresail

Two simple fisherman or working vessels (1601)Was this rigging, the forerunner example for the Maire's Yacht?(See below)

.
Speeljacht Encraving by S. Saverij 1640.








This yacht is (according to A.H.Clark) the yacht of the Maire ( Burgomaster)of Amsterdam around 1600. (with a hornblower at the bow. Double click for enlargement).
(see: "The history of Yachting" 1600-1815, by A.H.Clark.)
Hypothesis: was this yacht the forerunner of the "Speeljacht"?
In that case there is some reason to speculate that the Maire triggered the design to be fashionable for other boat builders.






Early (17 th. century) Dutch Lugger (below) with small fore sail at Scheveningen after Ludolf Bakhuizen.
This vessel is probably an early example of the so called fishing BUIS and even perhaps the main reason that in other european countries this lugger rigging was copied for fishing boats.

Fishing lugger, according to H. Warington Smyth in "Mast & Sail in Europe and Asia"
