Jeff, if you're out there somewhere, "thanks" for the lesson above. I've never sailed a yawl or ketch and so have no opinion other than hundreds of hours on sloops whose behaviors are predictable to me. Recently, a yacht broker took pains to convince me that a ketch was a better idea to cruise singlehanded than a sloop. Fortunately, the argument was friendly. Perhaps there was a ketch in a slip that needed a new owner right away.
