Re: Oyster Ketch
I almost bought a ketch-rigged Oyster 55.
It was a lovely boat.
A lot of the Oyster 435's were built as ketches.
Holman & Pye were doing a lot of ketches in the '80's. The Bowman 46 is another gorgeous boat (my pontoon neighbor in the Hamble had one of those).

Cushion me soft . . . . rock me in billowy drowse,
Dash me with amorous wet . . . . I can repay you."
