-| {{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:shipsboat.png?100|}} | **Ship's Boats** can be propelled by up to ten oars and are generally used to transport crew and passengers from ship to shore. Larger ships use them as tenders and lifeboats. |
+| {{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:shipsboat.png?100|}} | **Long Boats** can be propelled by up to ten oars and are generally used to transport crew and passengers from ship to shore. They conform to the standard Ship's Boat description. \\ **Jolly Boats** are smaller, and can be propelled by up to six oars, they can carry 4 extra passengers  ( a Jolly Boat can carry up to a total of 10 Medium creatures, either as crew or passengers, or the equivalent amount of cargo) |
 | {{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:dory.png?100|}}| **Fishing Boat** A Dory is a high sided fishing boat that is used for estuary and coastal fishing. A Lund, is broader and flat-bottomed, it works well in lakes.  Whalers are double-ended boats that are fitted with special crossbeams that allow the whale to 'tow' the boat, without pulling it to pieces.|
 |{{: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 5 tons of cargo and costs 500gp. \\ \\ <color #7092be>Lighters are only found in the port cities of The Hann Empire and their allies.</color>|

 |{{ :pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:pinnace.png?150 |}}| **A Pinnace**  does not have a civilian equivalent and are used as river and harbour patrol boats by the  national navies of Hann.  It is 30ft by 15ft, carries 5 tons of cargo, and costs 1000gp.  It carries a crew of five deckhands, and 10 marines (who double as rowers) It is decked with a low hold, and has a day cabin.  A Pinnace relies on a combination of oars and sail for propulsion.  However, it is little more than a stretched longboat, that carries more sail and has more rowers. |
-|{{  :pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:light_galley4.png?150|}}| **The Light Galley** used by the Hann Navy is roughly 50 feet in length, powered by rowers and a square sail, and is generally used for harbour coastal patrols.  They can make longer voyages, but needs to take on supplies regularly, and are generally accompanied by a sailing vessel.  The Light Galleys is not a comfortable vessel when crossing deep water, and high seas can cause it to sink. \\ \\ Details:  Top cruising speed is 60, using sail and the standard complement of 8 rowers, which is sufficient to deal with most coastal vessels, and those entering or leaving harbours.  They can get a short burst of speed (75) by double staffing oars, but that isn't sustainable over any distance. They normally carry a ballista on the foredeck and rely on their complement of 10xmarines to subdue vessels. In times of war, they  carry a larger complement of marines. \\ [[pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:shipsstats#light_galley_military_vessel|Click here for Light Galley specifications]]|

-|{{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:brigantine.jpg?150|}}| **The Corvette** is a Light Ship, that carries a small battery of Balistae and a complement of Marines.  It is a bit faster and a bit more manoeuvrable than its civilian cousin. \\ \\ Lightly armed merchant ships, which might look similar to a Corvette, are occasionally used as naval messenger vessels, and are known as Sloops-of-War.|
+|{{ :pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:military_cutter.jpg?150 |}}|**The Military Cutter** is a light ship with a single mast, powered primarily by a large gaff sail ate the rear and multiple headsails. It does not have a fore or after deck, and all crew accommodation is below deck - seriously eating into cargo space. It's great boom and bowsprit limit it to carrying eight light ballistae (1x fore, 1x aft and 3x on each side). They need a sailimng crew of 20 and generally carry a complement of 10x Marines.  Cargo = 45 tons.|

 |{{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:ships_boats:greatgalleon.jpg?150|}}| **A Man-o-War** is a large sailing ship which are commonly employed by navies as flagships 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, as well as a cabin for the Commodore.  Then they are fitted with more upgrades, batteries of siege engines and a large detachment of marines.  Some Men-o-War carry over 100 marines.  Great Galleons are normally built as Men-o-War and are significantly more expensive than normal sailing ships.|
