55 two masted rig, ketch or yawl
I was looking at the 55 for sale in the market - she looks like a yawl, but the documents call her a ketch - it seems plain the mast is abaft the rudder post - but the mizzen is larger and more for power than just trim, so maybe by that definition -anyway, just confused, what is the correct designation?

Thanks - I thought so....but on our classicswan site, we refer to it as a ketch rig (documents etc).....not that ir makes a lot of difference, it just confused me...

Fair winds to you too -
