Why Two MASTS? [Ketches vs Yawls] | Sailing Wisdom

Multimasted sailboats fall into different categories based on the size and position of their masts.
Schooners have a taller aft mast, while Ketches and Yawls have a smaller aft mast. In general, if the aft mast (also called a Mizzen) is forward of the rudder post, it is called a Ketch; aft of the rudder post is called a Yawl.
While these sailboats leave much to be desired while sailing into the wind, they are amazing machines with a little secret hidden up their rig when sailing off the wind!
