Gentlemen, I wish you all the best.

Help clarify the correct term - what is the name of this type of rig of a launch in the photos I have given?

 

In Russian documents of the mid-19th century it was written that "rigged as the Plymouth`s boat".

But this name rather has a local meaning for Russia.

This question is important in order to understand what name in English to indicate on the box of the new kit of "MasterKorabel".014.thumb.jpg.b6f1997bc30e7e97f7b5d2f00f5ef5c7.jpg

Technically it is a ketch as the rudder is behind the mizzen mast.  However back in the day rig names were not as clearly definded as they are today.  That said I think either term could be used.

My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.
