When a crew is being defined a 'Sailor' is a person who has put at least one skill point into Profession: Sailor or at least two points into Profession:Fisherman. Any character without either of those skills counts as an Unskilled Labourer. If a seamanship roll is required use the highest Profession:Sailor modifier in the crew - if it falls to a fisherman, they may use half of the Profession:Fisherman modifier. A Master Seaman will have a Profession:Sailor total modifier of 10 or more.

Construction Types

Speed

Maximum Speed: This is the fastest that a ship can move. When a ship has more than one means of propulsion, it may also have more than one maximum speed. If a ship has sails, it can move at double its maximum wind propulsion speed when it moves in the direction of the wind.

Acceleration: This is how fast a ship can increase its speed each round. It also determines the maximum amount a ship can safely decelerate each round. If you are on a river, you might want to add 2 miles an hour for down stream travel, but then remember to subtract it for upstream travel. Unless things are really time dependent, I tend to use the given values (it is much easier) unless I have a reason not to.

Sails are measured in 5' squares, and vessels lose speed when their sails are damaged.

This yard makes galleys for the navies of the Hann Empire. They aren't good for trade as their cargo capacity is limited, and their running costs are high, because of their large crews. Nor do they work well on the high seas, and are generally only used in shallow and coastal waters. Galleys in The Hann Empire are generally rowed by free people, although a few financial convicts may be required to work their debts off by serving in a galley. A normal galley might have a crew of 50% warriors (Soldier/Sailors), 25% Commoners (basic Sailors), and the rest as Experts. Both the commoners and Experts will have some militasry training.

Light Galley - Colossal ship - Squares 2 (15 ft. by 75 ft.) Cost 12,000 gp DEFENSE: AC 2 Hardness 5 hp 675 (oars 400, sails 120) Base Save +4 OFFENSE: Maximum Speed 30 ft. (muscle), 60 ft. (wind), or 90 ft. (muscle and wind); Acceleration 30 ft. CMB +8; CMD 16 Ramming Damage 8d8 STATISTICS: Propulsion muscle, wind, or current Means of Propulsion 40 oars, 30 squares of sails (one mast); Cargo/Passengers 40 tons / up to 80 passengers This long and relatively narrow boat has a single mast with a square sail and 18, double staffed, oars. It can traverse lakes, Coastal waters, and deep rivers. It can cross oceans, butr, it normally stays close to shore, as it has minimal accommodation for its crew. Complement: Crew 50 (18 Sailors+32 Medium rowers) 20 marines. 1x Lt Cdr 2x Naval Lt, 5x Petty Officers. 1x Marine Lt, 2x Marine Sgt. Weapons: It carries two Light Ballistae, positioned one each on the forward and aft sides of the ship. These siege engines can be swivelled to fire out either side of the ship, or either forward or aft, depending on their position. They are crewed by the Marines.

These vessels are not, generally, available in The Stolen lands or the Hann Empire or Stolen Lands game.

Coastal Cutter 5000gp: 60ft by 20 ft and the full cutter rig, this small ship is as fast as anything else on the water and is used primarily by the local coastguard and revenue. It needs a crew of seven (with one master Seaman and four other sailors)) to achieve its sailing speed of 4mph, and can carry up to forty marines. With little need for cargo space, the large cutter has a cabin for its master, another for the crew (up to ten people) and a third for the marines (up to ten marines) - although space in each of the cabins is very tight. Although, the Cutter is primarily a coastal vessel, it works well in deeper coastal waters, and can handle the open sea effectively. It is not well suited to rivers or lakes.
