LOA vs LWL
What is the best ratio of over all length to waterline?

Obviously the gap is greater for a Ketch and the extended bow allows for an extra mast but the trade off is extra length above water.

For a sloop, what is an ideal compromise to provide a good rig but also utalise the maximum length at the waterline?

No point paying for deck length thats uninhabitable.
