You think you've seen them all, sailboats.

Recognize this Island Packet,...34? You won't find one I don't think. Look closely and imagine, and IP 31. See it, from the end of the coamings forward? Then add a little aft cabin. I'm told this was a storm damaged boat and the reworking may have been done by IP but no certainty.

It also has a split rig with two tabernacled spars. I would think it's considered a ketch although the mizzen could be considered a yawl that far aft?

Anyway, I think it's a pretty good looking design right now as it makes the IP a bit longer and leaner than they tend to look.
