Hey I have been doing some research on diffrent rig types for the
livaboard my wife and I plan to buy in the next 4 years and I was
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

I would love to get some feed back thanks!

Probably around a 40ft, and we will be using it for blue water
cruising, ocean crossing and a full time live aboard.

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?
