For sea lovers with a sailing tradition, a ketch cruise is always a wonderful experience, a special way to connect with the sea and the legends of sailing.
The ketch-type boat remains popular with sailing excursion enthusiasts. With a large mainsail at the front and a mizzen mast at the back but in front of the rudder blade stock, this boat is highly appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its excellent balance under sail. The division of its sails and the mizzen, which helps it stay on the windward side at anchor or in the event of a heavy blow, make the boat remarkably versatile.
For cruisers in search of a real sea-faring experience, chartering a ketch is the ideal solution. This sailboat generally offers pleasant sailing on all the world's seas and works wonders on the warm waters of the Mediterranean, The Caribbean, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
The prestigious heritage of the ketch
It should also be remembered that many sailing enthusiasts are particularly fond of the ketch, as it evokes, among other things, the legendary Pen Duick II and Pen Duick VI with which the illustrious French sailorfrench sailor Eric Tabarly won some major victories. Among the famous references, we can also mention the Joshua of the navigator Bernard Georges Moitessier, the Notre Dame des Flots built in 1942, as well as the famous Épolar Star, which was renamed Skeaf VII.
