Advantages of Acquiring a Ketch
A ketch is a type of sailboat characterized by having two masts: the main mast, which is taller, and the mizzen mast, which is smaller and located closer to the stern. This design differentiates it from other types of sailboats and offers several advantages in terms of maneuverability and versatility. Ketches are ideal for both experienced sailors and those seeking a more comfortable and safe sailing experience.
At Todobarco we offer a variety of pre-owned ketches that have been carefully selected and evaluated to ensure their quality and condition.

If you are interested in finding a ketch for sale, feel free to explore our available offerings.
Characteristics of a Ketch
- Sail Configuration: The ketch has a greater number of sails and a more balanced distribution of sail area, which facilitates handling in various wind conditions. This is especially useful for long-distance sailing, as it allows for adjusting the sails to optimize performance and stability.
- Maneuverability: Thanks to its second mizzen mast, ketches offer better maneuverability, especially in confined spaces or when sailing in strong winds. This feature makes them popular among sailors looking for a versatile sailboat for different types of journeys.
- Stability and Comfort: The double-mast configuration contributes to better weight distribution and more stable sailing, reducing lateral rolling and increasing onboard comfort. This is particularly appreciated on long journeys or in rough sea conditions.
- Space and Habitability: Ketches usually offer spacious and well-distributed interiors, with comfortable cabins and living areas that facilitate life on board. This habitability makes them an excellent choice for long cruises or living aboard.
