Default Ketch storm tatics

Why do you say that? I'd say the foretriangle matches the mizzen quite
well. If the C of E of the main matches the CLR (as it should for a
balanced ketch) then she will balance under miz and foresail.

Can you give an example?



Sure.... any ketch that doesn't balance well under
jib & mizzen. It doesn't happen automagically,
y'know.

I can't say firsthand, but I suspect that Mari-Cha
4 doesn't balance at all under jib & mizzen. So
there!
