greenstone Posted May 15, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 15, 2022 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".

greenstone Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Will it be correct if I write as "42ft launch rigged gaff ketch" or "42ft launch rigged yawl"? Edited May 15, 2022 by greenstone mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsjax Posted May 15, 2022 Share #3 Posted May 15, 2022 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. mtaylor and greenstone 2 Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.
