I came across this rigging of a ketch called a mule sail or a wishbone gasf mule. I thought it was real neat. The guy talks it up real well also. And I found a new boat to drool over. I want a Formosa, don't care 49-68' would be fine.

Yes! Not shown in the small avatar of LKIV is the bow sprit that houses a gennaker type sail..... With everything up we're looking at over 600 square feet of sail on a 2600 pound boat not limited by hull speed....... There's an idea of what can happen here (sistership)....I can't wait!
