I'm a big fan of Cat-Ketch type of sail rigs, but in a artical I read
about the Mari-Cha IV, it is a type of sloop, but both mast are
the same. What is this type of rig called?

Fits into no defined category. If I had to fit it, I'd call it a
schooner. I sure won't defend that label, though.

I'd say either schooner or ketch, since when both masts are the same height
it's hard to find any definitive definition, as Paul says. Considering that
it carries modern sails with a modern hull form, "Ketch" probably fits
better than "Schooner."

Greg Elliot who designed it called it a schooner in a "Seahorse"
article. It certainly fits the classic definition of a schooner.
Where did you read that it was a sloop? Whatever else it may be, it
is no sloop! However, there may be some confusion because they keep
separate crews for each mast and work them independently. They may
have said that running the boat was like running two sloops rather
than one schooner... But, Mari-Cha IV is a schooner.

It's a cutter rigged schooner.

The schooner has two or more masts with he rear mast higher or as high
than the previous ones. Ketch has a mainmast in front and a shorter
mizzen.

I would say that it is simply a schooner. A schooner has 2 or more
masts and the aft mast(s) is (are shorter or the same size as the
forrward mast. Since it appears to have only one headsail, it would
not be cutter rigged.

Are you sure, you do not mean "are longer or the same size"?

Peter, actually you described a ketch. A schooner is t'other way 'round. ;-)
