wondering what some of you reccommend. Or if you had any first hand
experience.


Some of the rigs we have been looking in to a


Cats ketch
Yawl or ketch
Schooner Junk

Probably around a 40ft, and we will be using it for blue water

Is it viable to buy a ketch and then convert it to a cats ketch?

How different is a cats ketch to sail then a sloop or a cutter?
