Hi All,
Is there any literature out there that discussed techniques and/or differences for sailing a cat ketch vs a sloop? I realized hands on is the best but just thought I'd pick y'all's brains.
Thank You,

Re: Sailing a Cat Ketch specifically
Hello Guero,
I added to the Documentation section a writeup Garry Hoyt made on Cat Ketch sail handling. This document was written with wishbone booms in mind but will apply to conventional booms as well. For me, the sections " Windward Trim" and "In General" are the most useful.
