Speaking strictly of rigs, a ketch is no more challenging than a sloop, except that there is another (mizzen) sheet to tend.

The sail area is divided among three working sails, hence they will be smaller.

The fact that the rig is split between two masts gives some added sail reduction and trim options, especially if you wish to balance the helm.
