That is as major a refit as I have ever looked at. Looks like she took a pretty penny to do as well as elbow grease. Great labor of love. Thanks for sharing that.

Does 400 square feet of sails on a Ketch cost any more than an equal amount on a sloop on one less sail? I would think the price would be pretty close.

Re: The Death of the Ketch ?

Remember a ketch with comparable sail area, has a lot lower mast. Sailing around bridges? A tall sloop would mean lowering the mast. Not fun.
