a ship built so light it outran pirates by simply being faster than consequences
means A cutter is a small, fast single-masted sailing vessel, or more broadly any boat or ship built for speed and quick handling — including the coastal patrol craft still used by coast guards today.
from From the verb 'cut,' in the sense of a vessel that 'cuts' swiftly through the water — the same image behind 'cutting a path.' English seafarers from the 18th century onward applied the word to small, sharp-hulled boats prized for speed, especially those used for chasing smugglers, which is why revenue and coast-guard services adopted the name and keep it still.
