We like the options our ketch gives us. I should mention we are cutter rigged forward and have a gaff rigged main. The mizzen is a largish sail for a mizzen, and does provide drive. We can tie lines to the tiller when we don't feel like hand steering any longer and just adjust them when needed. On our boat the main has running back stays, the mizzen does not.
Yes we have a lot of wire, two forestays, six shrouds on the main, two running back stays, four shrouds on the mizzen and no triatic.
She is a cruiser and comfortable under sail, when the tall rigged sloops are headed in, we can reef both main and mizzen the boat stands up and dances along.
Not a racer but not a slug either.

But the design is dated 2010? As a ketch owner (but not an aggressive proponent of them), I am interested if you haven't designed one since. Have your clients not wanted ketches since then or have you moved away from them?

Bob has not been active here for quite some time. You can find him on other forums, unless he has given up on forums altogether.
