Why do they have flat feet or something?

How come they are calling this a ketch? I'd call it a brigantine.


Right you are, looks to me like the main yard is carrying a
square sail.... if it's got a main course then it's not a
fore-n-aft rig. But the foreward mast is taller, the forward
gaff sail is bigger, than the aft ones... and most the
historic replicas are called 'topsail schooners' so maybe
they thought this should be a 'topsail ketch.'
