While exploring Cuverville Island in Antarctica, I spotted a ketch rigged sailboat on the water and took photographs of it during the great weather we were enjoying.
Ketch Rigged Sailboat in Antarctica. Sunday Morning Photograph.
If you do not mind me momentarily indulging myself, I believe that each one of these photographs is good enough to hang on the wall behind the couch in the home of The Simpsons.
Final Boarding Call
Trivia time: A ketch is a sailboat with two masts whose mainmast is taller than the mizzen mast — which is also known as an aft-mast — and whose mizzen mast is stepped forward of the rudder post, which distinguishes this particular type of sailboat from a yawl, which has its mizzen mast stepped aft of its rudder post.
