My favourite sailing trivia question is “what’s the difference between a ketch and a yawl”.
If you have relatives overstaying there Xmas visit you can use this article to drive them out of the house by testing them with such questions.


By the way a yawl, by my definition, has the mizzenmast aft of the rudder whereas a ketch has it it in front but that sort of argument will also assist with removing visitors

Happy new year
