-The boatyards and shipyards of Hann produce many vessels, although not all of them are suitable for trade.  Some specialize in military vessels, selling directly to the Empire’s Navies, others make smaller vessels, that aren’t used commercially.

-Masts and Sails:  Most vessels have a single mast, with a single square sail, and might set a single foresail, they aren’t complicated to sail and require less skilled sailors.  Sailing ships have more masts (2 or 3) and carry two square sails on each mast, they have a Gaff Sail on the aft mast, and can set foresails – which means they need more skilled sailors -  however, some of the jobs can be done by less skilled deckhands.  The number of masts and sails are important in  determining the number, and type, of crew a ship needs.  The more complicated the rig, the more skilled the crew.

-Re-rig:  You can add some general sailing speed (to the wind powered part of the ship’s speed) by topping out the masts and adding sails.  This, generally, adds an extra sail at the top of the mast, and a stay sail between masts.  However, you need a bigger, and more skilled, crew to deal with the extra canvas.  You cannot buy re-rigged ships on the open market, but must add this service after you have purchased them

-Passengers:  Every ship can carry a few passengers.  On many small vessels, a few Deck Passengers travel outside on the open deck, finding space nestled in the cargo.  Larger ships generally have bunk rooms or cabins for passengers. Bunk Passengers are generally accommodated in a single cramped cabin (about 10x12) and are restricted to a backpack for their personal gear, anything else must go as cargo.  Passenger cabins are small (7x5), but private, and can normally accommodate two passengers in bunks, who might be allowed to take a couple of small chests, along with their backpack, as personal luggage. Upper bunks can be folded away to make a bit more space, and some people pay double to book a ‘single’ cabin.  Any ship can carry more passengers, but each extra passenger gets a small space in a cargo hold and takes up 1x five-foot square of cargo space.    No matter how   you travel on a ship, space and luggage are limited.

-Crew: There are three types of sailing crew:  Sailors are experienced sailors (Expert-2); Deckhands are less experienced, but still perform basic sailing duties (Expert-2), while Swabbies (labourers) do the physical work of rowing, cleaning and loading cargo.  The more complicated the rig, the more skilled the crew.  If you appoint someone to command the ship, they deal with recruitment for you   If you command the ship yourself, you need to pay the costs of recruiting staff, until you have sailed a couple of trips.

-Commanders:  Captains (Expert-3) are highly skilled sailors, required to sail and navigate a ship in open waters, while Skippers (Expert-2) have the same sort of skill as a common sailor.  Skippers command small vessels sailed by deckhands, or can act as Bosun aboard sailing ships.
