We have a 53-ft ketch with electric furling main and furling jib. Easy to single-hand if necessary. The 10-hp bow thruster makes it a breeze to dock even in 30-kt breezes. This 53-ft ketch is far easier to handle than our previous 46-ft sloop which had no electric winches and no bow thruster. Ease of handling depends entirely on how boat is equipped.
