What is a mizzen mast on a sailing ship?

On a sailing vessel having more than three mast, the mizzen mast is the third mast immediately aft of the main mast. It is a shorter mast than the foremast. It is often located over the stern of the boat or ship. Correction to the above: a "Yawl" or a "Ketch" has two masts -a mainmast and a mizzen, with the mizzen sometimes located right on the transom at the stern.


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.


What are the names of the sails on a Ketch type sail boat?

The lowest fore-and-aft sail on the main mast is called the mainsail, while that on the mizzen is called the mizzen sail. These may be any type of fore-and-aft sail, in any combination. The Scots Zulu, for example, had a dipping lug main with a standing lug mizzen.
