The mizzen boom on a yawl is commonly referred to as the "mizzen gaff." This is the spar that extends from the mast to the edge of the mizzen sail, allowing for better control and shape of the sail when sailing. The design helps improve the yawl's performance, particularly when sailing downwind.

What is a ketch?
A Ketch is a sailing vessel with two masts, a main mast and a mizzen mast abaft. Very similar to a Yawl the main differences being a ketch's mizzen mast is forward of the rudder post which in turn gives the ketch a larger sail area. A ketch's mizzen mast is used for propulsion where a yawls mizzen mast is used for trim and balance. Ketches are very common among long distance sailors, since the larger sail area gives you a better balance. Also a ketch allows you to drop your mainsail in sudden wind gusts and sail only with your jib and mizzen set.
