Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

Thanks for that posting Minaret. (https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/members/minaret-8026.html)

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

This is what i remember as well,....another case of the racing rules designing our vessels rather than 'mother ocean'.

Re: Vertical Backstay

Don't quite understand you here. Don't the shrouds carry a lot of the side-side forces?...particularly with very wide spreaders (tradition ones, not the fore-aft one you refer to (that I term a...

Are you taking about reading;
1) a 'website',
2) or a particular forum posting,

Re: Vertical Backstay

Several thoughts there.

Yes the monohull version looked a little more 'weird', but I was really looking forward to combining that rig's low leeway inducing force to the asymmetrical twin keels on the hull. I really think...

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

I was also impressed with her sail shapes and cuts, particularly as she is carrying two in-mast furling ones.
