ketches
Fore-and-aft rigged vessels
Ketches is the plural of ketch, a type of sailing vessel with two masts—the main mast forward and a shorter mizzen mast aft, positioned forward of the rudder post.
This distinguishes ketches from yawls, where the mizzen sits behind the rudder.
Several ketches bobbed at anchor in the harbor.
