-^Vessel ^ Notes |||||| +|Sailing ships are differentiated by their mast placement, cabin placement, and the way the sails are rigged.  Light sailing ships are smallerlighter and have two mastswhile standard sailing ships have three masts and more sail.  Men-o-War normally have four mastsextra sail and much heavier armament.  Howevermany 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, CaravelCarrack, Cutter, Schooner, Sloop and many other names. However, they can be configured for different functions, for example: Whalers have fewer warriorsbut 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.|

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.
