Re: Know Your Rig Types (XKCD)
It looks like it would do quite well running but I have doubts about it's ability to sail close hauled.

Re: Know Your Rig Types (XKCD)
On the serious side; the difference between a ketch & yawl is the location of the mizzen mast. Ketch is in front of the rudder post (you are trying to ketch it) and yawl is behind (south end of the boat, yawl).
