Today in pedantry, we learn that all Ketches have two masts. “Two-masted ketch” is redundant.

For anyone interested, a ketch is a two masted, sloop rigged sailing vessel in which the mizzen mast (the one in back) is smaller than the main mast and is placed forward of the rudder post. When the mizzen is placed aft of the rudder post, the vessel is a yawl. Not to be confused with y’all, which is a perfectly cromulent word, no matter what Yankees think.
