    If you erect a tower abaft the mainsail, you might as well hang another sail on it,  call it a mizzen mast and become a ketch or a yawl.

    "A few years ago there was a biplane junk rigged cat for sale in OZ. The guy had a neat stainless tower that extended over the bimini. All the sheets ran through that tower in vertical ascending order. He told me it worked well."
