In going back and checking ,I see that the schooner and cutter have the same sailing arcs, it's just that the schooner is faster (G deck). I didn't want to get any closer to the wind than Ares already had with the French frigates and sloops of war (but you do get to sail in the green arc).

In my "Tweaked Sailing Angles", the red zone is smaller for fore and aft rigged ships than square riggers.
