Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

Yes, it makes sense keeping it since it holds the top of the mizzen forward and there is no other stay for that. The idea of a cordage is to be retained. I guess for now I will continue to climb...

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

Now the big question is: Do we really need a triatic stay? :confused::confused: Some ketches have it, some don't. Mine come with one and it's a pain to go up the mast and attach it up there every...

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

I had the same good surprise with my ketch and have to set some blocks to be able to use all of them, I am so anxious to try them all at once, this is going to look great and make us really fast in...

Not true for all boats, look at this one: Fairlie 55 - Video Diary.mov - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rDgKIPaW5xY)

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

Here is a real case of experience with one of the most reliable and beautifull boat on Earth! I met several owners of older models such as the 54 in the Med and they all loved their boat, so yes it...

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

That's the way to go and personally I make a point to be able to fix every essential system on my boat, but it is always possible to find a challenge bigger than you and that's why professionals are...

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

I'll be the devil's advocate here, but when one can afford a Amel 64, one is not concerned by costs of repairs anywhere in the world, one will probably never open a tool box and will call satellite...

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

It takes all kinds of people for all kinds of boats! But to call a Amel an ugly boat is a little bit extreme, some features may not be of your taste but these boats are still considered beautiful...

Re: The death of the ketch?

I need more info on this, my ketch is rigged to have such a sail between the two masts, there is a yellow light sail in a bag I never took out, how do you set the sheets for it?

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

I was just refering to the good old time when Eric Tabarly was sailing his Pen Duick's some were ketches and at that time they were high performers. And I agree that perfomance is NOT the reason to...

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

Dave, nobody said it is a better boat or rigging, you're the one who said it was an obsolete design, and I don't agree. It does have pros and cons like all design features of a boat and each one...

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

Why do people associate Ketch rigs to old salty non-performing sailboats? I own a ketch but did not buy it by choice of rig and when I first started to sail and compared to my previous boats, all...
