A cat-ketch is a sailboat that is rigged as both a catboat and a ketch.Specifically, there is larger mast stepped at the very bow, and a smaller mast further aft.It is different from a standard ketch rig because there is no jib, and the foremost mast is further forward than most ketches.
The ketch's main mast is usually stepped further forward than the position found on a sloop.

The terms cat-rigged, and catboat, should not be confused with catamarans. Catamarans are not related to the term cat-rigged, though catamarans can be cat-rigged, if they have a single sail and no jib. The term 'cat' may come from the 'cat head', a protruding cross beam, not far behind the bow, or head, of a sailing ship, to which the anchor ...
