Overview

A ketch is a two-masted sailboat with the mizzen mast shorter and set aft of the main mast but forward of the rudder post. Popular for cruising, ketches offer flexible sail plans, easier sail handling, and balanced helm in varying wind conditions. They range from compact coastal cruisers to bluewater passagemakers, valued for versatility, redundancy, and comfortable liveaboard layouts.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used ketch?

Get a professional marine survey that checks hull integrity, keel and chainplates, mast step, standing and running rigging, sails, engine hours, and electrical systems. Look for water intrusion in the deck and bulkheads and corrosion around fittings.

How do I estimate transport costs for a ketch?

Costs depend on length, width, location, and method (overland trailer, lift-on/off to a cargo ship, or professional yacht transport). Get quotes from specialized boat movers and include cradle, permits, and crane fees.

What rigging maintenance is essential before a cruise?

Inspect and replace worn shrouds, stays, turnbuckles, and toggles. Check mast fittings, spreaders, and halyards. Lubricate moving parts and verify standing rigging tension and swag points.

How are sails and canvas evaluated on a used ketch?

Check sail cloth for UV damage, seams, chafe, and stretched battens. Ask for sail inventory and age. Inspect covers, dodger, and bimini for UV rot and repaired areas.

What routine engine and systems maintenance should I budget for?

Plan oil and filter changes, coolant and fuel filter service, impeller replacement, battery checks, and inspection of exhaust and fuel lines. Also budget for refrigeration, plumbing, and electrical repairs common on older boats.
