Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

That's my understanding too, at least for the 1960s Bermuda races, The extra mast also allowed one to hang a staysail. ... The yawl seem to have come and gone decades ago.

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

That's the Morning Star, a 42-foot-LOD, wooden ketch built in 1968 by Robin Fung Ltd. The boat sailed to Hawaii from Vallejo, CA last weekend to Hawaii and points beyond.

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

There are over a half dozen ketches in my area of the marina. They are mostly in the 42-to-50-foot LOA range. None are particularly new.
