A schooner is a double masted boat


At LEAST 2 masts. Can be more.


with the masts of the same size.


The fore mast can be shorter.

That's what the Orpheus was--the black,
leaky, death boat. A ketch has two masts, the smaller one in the

stern.

But ahead of the rudder post, otherwise it's a Yawl.


That's what Rhea and John were sailing. What we really want to know

is who
the manufacturer was and what size it was.


Sorry, don't know. Like the movie though.
