Yes, but there are those that further define it by intended use of mizzen
sail.

Ketch= mizzen is significant portion of sail plan and intended for power

Yawl= mizzen mainly intended for balance

or maybe I have it backwards...

lots of ways to skin a cat (yawl)

I was under that impression that the difference between a ketch and a yawl depended on the position of the mast relative to the rudder post, rather than the helm.
