1. A ketch therefore uses three primary sails: the mainsail and head sail, as on a sloop, plus the mizzen sail aft.
因此，双桅帆船使用三面主要的帆：与单桅帆船一致的主帆，前帆，以及尾桅帆。

2. This means that the mainsail and head sail of a ketch are generally smaller than on a sloop, but the mizzen sail roughly makes up the difference.
这意味着双桅帆上的主帆和前帆通常要比单桅帆船上的小一些，而尾桅帆的面积则恰好弥补了这一差距。

3. The primary advantages of a ketch are that each of the sails is usually somewhat smaller than on a sloop of equivalent size, making sail handling easier.
双桅帆的主要优势在于每一面帆都比同尺寸的单桅帆船上的相应帆尺寸要小一些，使得航行操纵也容易一些。
- sloop (n.) "small fore and aft rigged vessel with one mast, generally carrying a jib, fore-stay sail, mainsail, and gaff-topsail," 1620s, from Dutch sloep "a sloop;" probably from French chaloupe, from Old French chalupe "small, sloop-rigged vessel," which is perhaps related to English shallop [OED]. But according to Barnhart and Watkins the Dutch word might simply be from Middle Dutch slupen "to glide," from PIE root *sleubh-. In old military use, a small ship of war carrying guns on the upper deck only (1670s).
