    The effort required to just get the sails moved on this ketch was enough that a crane was used. I think two masts for a 75 foot yacht is starting to take away some of the reasons for using a junk rig in the first place.

    I guess this is also a good reason to keep it small.

    Well of course, he has a crane on board, so he can! :-)
