🔍 Key Concepts

• Fore-and-aft rig versus square rig on sailing vessels • Basic definition of a schooner in traditional sail terminology • How ketches and yawls are identified by the position of the mizzen mast

💭 Think About

• First, recall: does a schooner have one mast or more than one? Eliminate any choice that contradicts that basic fact. • Next, think about which types of vessels use the terms "mizzen stepped forward/abaft the rudder post"—are those usually describing schooners, or some other rig (like ketch or yawl)? • Consider whether the definition of a schooner specifies an exact number of masts, or a minimum number of masts with certain names (foremast, mainmast, etc.).

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether a schooner can have only one mast or must have two or more. • Check which rigs (ketch, yawl, schooner) are actually defined by the position of the mizzen mast relative to the rudder post—this will help you discard wrong options. • Confirm whether the standard definition says "at least two masts" or "exactly two masts" for a schooner.
