I think you are indeed correct – all Kokomo yachts are sloops, and certainly the latest one, number III! I have editied the article accordingly. Here is another link that may be of interest over at Yacht Forums: http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/alloy-yacht/8252-kokomo-iii.html Thanks for your comments Gordon, please feel free to post anytime…

Thanks for your response. I thought I’d look up Kokomo I and based on the images seen on http://www.alloyyachts.com/our+fleet/Kokomo+of+London.html, you’ll see Kokomo I is also a sloop.

“S/Y KOKOMO received many accolades in the first year after launch, as one would expect with such a high quality and innovating sailing ketch.” Thanks for your comment. That is refering to the first KOKOMO (or KOKOMO I), a sailing ketch.

I’m not particularly experienced with all things sailing-related, but I thought the correct term for a single-masted yacht like Kokomo is “sloop”, not “ketch”?
