Ketch vs Sloop?

[Davidrogerson]

i agree with John also there's really no point with ketch or yawl rigged boats until you get up to the 50 foot mark.
I don't know if this was previously mentioned but for those new to sailing a Ketch has its mizzen (secondary) mast forward of the rudder post wheras a yawl has it aft. I hope someone found that helpfull.

I think that may be the difference between the pointing ability of my boat as opposed to a Ketch. Other than the addition of the Mizzen aft of the cockpit and rudder, the only difference between it and the sloop version is the E measurement is 2 feet shorter. So, with a 2' shorter boom and the added SA of the Mizzen, there's no real change in pointing ability.
