Also, upwind, the backwinding effect is reduced as it’s a larger sail and downwind, the large main doesn’t overly effect the for’ard sails because of the overall length of the rig, part of it way out on the sprit [that big stick up front].And the keel comes into it too – full length, shoal, modern etc.Beauty-wise, well, it’s in the eye of the beholder but I prefer the schooner. On three masted square riggers and schooners the mizzen is the after-most mast. Design is always such a compromise.If you dislike bermudan rigs and sloops in particular, then your only real cruising choice is a split gaff rig like the above.

A gaff rig has such a short luff that one can do this and get away with it. A schooner has 2 masts, the 2nd mast is taller. It may also have additional masts, up to 7. I want a six and a half foot cabinette immediately for’ard of the cockpit and the rest of the crew can do as they like for’ard of the mainmast.Therefore I must opt for the schooner. You are a crusty old bugger. With a good keel and a fine underwater shape, they are magnificent but yes – only in a long boat.Ketches have that great sail plan and I’ve just designed another one now. I saw a vid of a square-rigger sailing. It eliminates running backstays.Consider this close reach, beam reach or a broad reach and running before the wind gull wing style these points of sail the sails are out of each others way ie open slots so what matters is how much sail can one throw up in the air. So here goes;A sloop has a mainsail and headsail configuration, the mainsail being set on the mast at its luff and and a spar at its foot called a boom.A schooner has two or more masts with the foreward-most mast shorter than the others. The pictures you can see on the net show a very short jib so I’m also wondering what the effect would be to take the jib to the top of the fore mast. That’s why the ketch is so popular, especially in a smaller boat.Which is not to say the schooner’s not balanced – the for’ard sails versus the large main astern. The long and the short of it is that the jib is an efficient sail and upwind, sheeted hard, there are strong forces through the slot. If you were going round the world – a ketch would probably be the boat, yes?Terminology, Mark – depends on the rig but basically, from the bowsprit: jib [or yankee], [fore] staysail, mainsail [on a ketch], mizzen. The three sails do not necessarily mean that the sail area on a ketch is larger than on a sloop of the same size, however. I also like the ability to reef by simply dropping the main, or on a gaff ketch my twisting off the peak of the sail.Schooner hulls also seem to have that ‘clipper’ heritage to them so that you have a lot of sail, a slim hull with not a lot under the waterline. The helm position lies to the aft of the mizzen mast.A yawl, like a ketch has two masts with the aftmost (the mizzen) shorter than the main, but in the case of a yawl, the helming position is forward of the mizzen mast.All of these yacht types can be rigged differently, the two best known types being gaff-rigged, where the sail is connected to two spars, one at the top of the sail and one at the foot.

One thing going for a schooner is that the topstay linking fore and aft mastheads holds a smaller sail area back whereas on the ketch, you can’t run that to the aft mast and so the only way around the problem is having running backstays, which are a pain.Also, that is a massive area forward on a ketch, needing bracing. Personally, I like the idea of a 10% sock which clips onto the luff and then when the sock wears out, you buy a new one.This sock is just a rectangular piece of heavy sailcloth, unshaped.

In such cases the main mast might be set slightly further back to accommodate the extra stays. Modern sailcloth is much stiffer and as these boats tend to race, then the gap [slot] is important and taken care of. A ketch may also use a spinnaker. A sloop has a mainsail and headsail configuration, the mainsail being set on the mast at its luff and and a spar at its foot called a boom. However, this, in a small boat, precludes for’ard berths because the foremast will be stuck right in the middle of the bed.In the end, it comes down to this – the bigger the sails fore and aft, the more balance becomes an issue but the better the accommodation choices below. is that ketch is a fore and aft rigged sailing vessel with two masts, main and mizzen, the mizzen being stepped forward of the rudder post or ketch can be a hangman while schooner is (nautical) a sailing ship with two or more masts, all with fore-and-aft sails; if two masted, having a foremast and a mainmast.
