There are a few categories for ships with two masts. The first and most common is called a "schooner" A ship falls into this category when it's second mast (the one to the rear) is taller than the one in the front. If the second mast is shorter than the first, the ship is either a "catch" or a "yall" depending on the position of the helm in relation to the second mast's boom.
