1. Have you ever sailed a ketch? Let us know your experiences in the comments. Don't forget to like and subscribe, it really helps us. Thanks!

2. I was looking at some sort of cutter, never heard of a ketch.

3. I am in college, and I hope after I graduate to go to a sailing school and buy a sailing boat; so call it virtual window shopping? I would never say a cat; can't afford it…

4. Thanks so much for this post on the ketch. I'm looking at one, didn't know anything about them but have a better idea now.

5. Ketch? I want to sail around the world in a schooner!

6. I think a ketch would also be much more manuverable in close quarters without engine, e.g. in case of engine failure.

7. I like ketch sailboats also. I would only use the the main mask, & if something should ever happen to the main mask, you have the mizzen mask to get back to land and a port to fix the damaged main mask.

8. We sailed our Amel Mango for 10 years. We rerigged her as a Cutter-Ketch after 5 years, before our Pacific crossing by adding a meter long bowsprit. What an ideal improvement. We crossed wing and wing at 8 knots. We sold Tempest in Australia, but after a year we bought an experienced Privilege 42. Between the two, the Amel is suited for heavy weather, the Cat, not. Our current program includes rotating our grandkids on board. Better for the kids. After so many years of just the two, it is a gift to share with the next generation. Our ketch in her past made 4 Atlantic crossings, Sailed North to Spitsbergen, as Far East as Croatia, and West to Perth via the south shore. We miss her greatly. Her last suit of sails was a pure pleasure, with a lighter weight 130 Genoa and heavier working jib she kept us safe. I hope her new owner has half the adventures we had.

9. What about a Kracken 50 or 66?

10. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

11. Hi, very interesting thank you. What make & model is your Ketch?

12. Thank you for this video. Have you had any experience with aero rigs?

13. I have never owned a ketch. I have sailed on a few. For me I would say general rule of thumb is less than 45' all inboard cutter rig, over 45' cutter rigged ketch. The first f/g sailboat to circumnavigate was a Tom Gillmer designed Allied Seawind ketch. But that was long ago before the advent of readily available windvane self steering and the plethora of electronic autopilots. The additional cost and complexity of the ketch in smaller boats must be balanced against the "drive" that the split rig delivers. I converted my previous(Cape Dory 28) and current(S2 11c) boat to a cutter. I find that both sail well off the wind with just the s'sail. I even sailed many miles under reefed s'sail on the CD 28 after rounding Good Hope in 35+ knot winds and 4~5 meter seas.
    I built and sailed a 30' junk rigged sloop for a number of years. While not as weatherly as a sloop or cutter it was far easier to handle, especially for me, a solo sailor. Bill King aboard Galway Blazer II, a schooner rigged junk would have handily won the first nonstop solo circumnavigation had his unstayed foremast not broken while crossing the Atlantic on the final leg of the trip.

14. I've had a few boats over my 80 yrs 95% single hander.
    UK Waters till 31. Australian and N.Z Waters from then on.
    A mix of Timber 27ft Nicholson. 27ft '65 Planked (Beautiful little girl.)
    Concrete 32ft. 32ft Pugh Moonwind Centre cockpit. then 2 x Boden South Seas 42ft.
    Cutter and Ketch. I usually didn't go out in less than 25 knots. liked heavy weather. Hence the Steel, Plus I bounced off a Container once Adelaide to Strahan (Tassie) in the '80's) and
    Smaller boats. 85% Coastal (Commitments. Family ashore).
    The 32 ft I found fine. 42 better for offshore for carrying capacity for longer trips.
    Cutter with a ghoster off forestay. Loose footed rather than a kite.
    The Pugh ofter running and reaching at 7 to 8 knots. The 42fters very little faster.
    You can set ALL boats to self steer on sails. PROVIDING the rig is balanced and hull form well designed.
    Mechanical. For over 40 yrs on all boats (had mix of solar, towing and shaft logs)) I had a Wheel Autopilot. Combined with a small electrical "Windvand" from a TILLER steer AutoP.
    Mounted on Side rail out of sail draught. When off shore and clear of coatstal variances. You can usually travel on sails set. Watching for wind shifte For days usually. Wave/swell sets give a good mental chart of any shifts.
    Coastal the wind vane Pilot did good job for me.
    I preferred Cutter to Ketch. Lazy. Smaller boats. Easier. Less travel distances, not so much carrying capacity needed.
    Plus. Single. Peaceful. No disagreements. You F– up. Nobody but YOU to blame. Fix it.

    I've travelled round most on Westerm world. Plus Asia. My choices. Done Atlantic in 'late '50,s
    (27ft Nich when it was popular. Almost ran out of water. twice.) Fish for food Food)
    Both ways are fine but I have medical reasons for being not too far from treatment.
    My Coastal kept me within reach of facility's.
    Do them both… BUT Coastal Stay under 5 ft draught and preferably steel in either.
    They dent, rather than hole. And real easy to repair. IE fix patches. Weld.
    Cats to easy to flip if you lose it in Curly tops and hollow backs. (been there 32fter and North Sea Trawlers in mid '50's in winter season) )
    Just enjoy it. It's ALl ways great. I was brought up in a North East fishing port/fishing fleet. (Suttons. Hartlepool I remember the last STEAM Trawler. "Longscar")
    So enjoyed it bouncy and interesting. Not flat, boring water. Just me.
    Lost depth of field in vision. No more bouncy. bouncy.

15. Judging by the 20 minute video I’m going to guesss this is an extremely bias video with one sv in mind that these folks don’t actually own

16. Bumpers for cars, fenders for boats.

17. Great video! I'm looking and learning all the little differences in set ups for the future purchase 😎 this isa very helpful video. Fair seas be safe and Happy New Year

18. I'm confused, Catamaran vs Ketch? A Cat is a hull type, A Ketch is the type of rigging? There are Ketch rigged Catamarans???

19. I don't know how to sail or have a sail boat but i do love learning all about sailing, and this was very informative.

20. nothing about cats for world cruising makes sense.. most have sail drive that has a 12 month inspection schedule.. not many places can slip a cat.. some of the lifts have been on the limits of the crane without spreader bars… compromising the boat frame .. cruising is all maintenance management.. with a cat you are on the back foot from the start because of this alone… i like cats btw… for cruising though you need a heavy non special (size wise).

21. Awesome its the first time ive heard anyone explain what a Ketch is and why they exist ie their advantages.

22. Awesome! Thank you!

23. I have done very little sailing and I just bought a 36ft allied princess katch can you recommend a few good videos for me to watch

24. I thought Sir Francis Chichester’s ketch gypsy moth was the most famous!

25. does anyone know a book or video about sail trimming for various points of sail for ketches please? – thanks

26. Thank You,so much👍

27. What a nice introdukcion👍👍👍👍👍

28. !

29. Even Eric and Susan eventually went over to a larger ketch……

30. Looking to get a boat i want a ketch

31. Sir Francis Chichester clearly agreed….his record setting Gypsy Moth IV was a ketch.

32. But…. what about ketch vs yawl? You mention the difference, in the definition, but don't really go into why a ketch is better than a yawl as a blue water cruiser (or vice versa).

33. Well done video on my favorite rig. You earned my subscription. Thank you.

34. Just bought a Morgan Out Island 41 Ketch last spring with the intent of blue water cruising. I did a lot of research before deciding what kind of rig and hull I wanted and the Ketch rig really stood out as the best.
