 | {{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:keelboat.png?100|}} | **A Riverboat**  follows the same design philosophy, but is much larger than the other boats in this category at 30ft by 15ft.  It carries more cargo (10 tons), costs 1000gp, but only uses the same number of crew.  It has a small cabin, but is not designed for open water, and would founder at sea.  While it can be rowed, a riverboat relies on its sail for propulsion.|
 |{{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:lighter.jpg?100|}} | **A Lighter** is larger than other vessels in this category, at about 30x15, but is built very differently.  It is flat-bottomed has no masts or cabin, and can only be moved at speed 10, using long sweeps.  Lighters are used for moving cargo around in harbours and ports, it can carry 20 tons of cargo and costs 500gp|

 |{{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:karvi.jpg?100|}}| **Karvi** are pure raiding vessels, that are used widely by hobgoblin navies -    They come fitted with a ram and small fore and stern castles, they can only carry one large siege engine in each castle.

 ===== Sailing Ships =====
-These vessels all conform to the technical description of a **[[pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:shipsstats#sailing_ship|Sailing Ships]]**.  Minor, descriptive, items might change slightly, but the numbers don't.   Built with a deep hull, sailing ships are designed for open water, and are favoured by many pirates, navies and merchants.  However, they may run aground in shallow seas, and will only be found in the deepest river mouths. They cost 10,000 gp, unless otherwise noted.

+|Sailing ships are differentiated by their mast placement, cabin placement, and the way the sails are rigged.  Light sailing ships are smaller, lighter and have two masts, while standard sailing ships have three masts and more sail.  Men-o-War normally have four masts, extra sail and much heavier armament.  However, many of the basics, such as speed and crew requirements are the same.||
-|{{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:heavy_ship.png?150|}}| Sailing ships are differentiated by their mast placement, cabin placement, and the way the sails are rigged.  Examples of Sailing Ship types include the:  Brigantine, Brig, Barque, Caravel, Carrack, Cutter, Schooner, Sloop and many other names. However, they can be configured for different functions, for example: Whalers have fewer warriors, but have specialist equipment for hunting whales.  Merchants maximise their cargo space, and travel from port to port.  Navies use sailing ships for patrols, as messengers, scouts or raiders. \\ \\ Rather than descriptions, I have included a few images different types of Ship Types. ||||||
+|{{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:brigantine.jpg?200|}}| This colossal sailing ship has two masts with either square or lateen sails and often they have raised forecastles and stern castles, but limited accommodation for officers or passengers. Examples include brigs, brigantines, brig-sloops, snows and sambuks(Sakar). They are used for exploration and some long distance trade, while navies use them as messengers, scouts and fleet vessels or, perhaps, just to show a ‘presence' in an area. They are favoured by many pirates.|

+|{{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:carrack.jpg?150|}}| The ‘standard’ sailing ship of the Pathfinder rules, with three masts and a large carrying capacity.  They often have raised forecastles and stern castles, with good accommodation for passengers and officers and are often used for long distance ocean travel. Most merchant ships, and many merchant, military and pirate vessels are standard sailing ships. They are built to many different designs, including barques, caravels, schooners, sloops and carracks, while well-armed naval vessels are often known as frigates.|
+|Image| a Man-o-War is a large sailing ship which are commonly employed by navies as flag ships for a small fleet - however, they are perfectly capable of operating alone..  They normally built with four masts, and all the upgrades that can be built into a new ship.  Then they are fitted with more upgrades, batteries of siege engines and a detachment of marines.  Some Men-o-War carry over 100 marines.  Great Galleons and Xebecs(Sakar) are normally built as Men-o-War and are significantly more expensive than normal sailing ships.

-**Man-o-War** - a Man-o-War is a large sailing ship, similar to those described above, which are commonly employed by Navies who want to conduct battles outside their own coastal waters.  They normally built with four masts, and all the upgrades that can be built into a new ship.  Then they are fitted with more upgrades, batteries of siege engines and a detachment of marines.  Some Men-o-War carry over 100 marines.  Frigates, Galleons and Xebecs are normally built as Men-o-War and are significantly more expensive than normal sailing ships.
