🔍 Key Concepts

• Ketch vs. yawl: how the position of the mizzen mast is defined • The meaning of mizzen mast and where it is located relative to the rudder post • Number and basic arrangement of masts on common sailing rigs (sloop, ketch, yawl, schooner)

💭 Think About

• First, eliminate any choices that clearly describe the WRONG number of masts for a ketch. • Think about how a ketch differs from a yawl: which one has the mizzen farther aft, relative to the rudder post? • Review in your mind what a sloop looks like (one mast) and what a basic two‑masted fore‑and‑aft rig is called when the aft mast is smaller and ahead of the rudder post.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that a ketch has exactly two masts, not one. • Confirm that the mizzen mast on a ketch is forward of or abaft the rudder post by recalling the standard textbook definition. • Make sure you are not mixing up the definition of a ketch with that of a yawl, which is also a two‑masted vessel but has a different mizzen position.
