Hello all, just joining this forum.
I have been able to find sail area for a 365 ketch but not a sloop. Is the ketch's main sail much smaller than the 365 sloop?
After sailing on a friend's 36 Canadian Seacraft sloop and seeing how much work it is handling the sails, I am wondering if I presently have the perfect boat in my Seafarer 31 Yawl.
I have been admiring the 365 for some time and have it as my number one pick for my next boat. I like the split rig and I am thinking that the more sizeable mizzen on the 365 will be more of a sailing factor (in a good way). I feel that the mizzen effect on my boat is fairly trivial.
Thank you
Paul

Hope this helps... Dale
Thanks very much for the stats. Guess the main and jib aren't all that much smaller.
