 |**Launch** 500gp:  20ft x 8 ft.  ++A large clinker built boat with two banks of oars|(This should probably be called a gig, Whale boat, longboat or Cutter -  but Launch works in this context)++.  Often used for water based patrols or to ferry important people around.  Every extra pair of oars you add (and reduce the passenger capacity)  the launch moves 5 faster.   Special racing crews can go even faster.  It has a short mast and square sail which give a sailing speed of 10. They do not have a cabin and are rarely used for long trips or at night.\\  DC 15, Crew:9, Passengers:5, Speed Rowed: 3mph, Speed Sailed:1mph \\ **The Local Patrol Boat**  is a launch with a military crew.  When all the spots are filled by marines, The Local Patrol Boat can achievespeeds of  Rowed: 5mph, Sailed:1mph.| {{ :pathfinder:off-the-shelf:longboat.jpg?200 |}} |

-|**Shallop (Riverboat)** 2000gp:  30ftx12ft with a single mast, lee boards, a simple sail and oars.  The Riverboat is a large fishing boat with a small central cabin, that can also be used  to transport cargo, on rivers, lakes and estuaries. It is commonly known as a Hog as it is said to wallow like a hog when faced with inclement weather. It is slow and has a single low hold, so it doesn't generally take passengers.   ++Note:|(Change the name to Riverboat when the rules are reused)++  \\  DC 15, Crew:4, Speed Rowed: 0.5mph Speed Sailed:2mph \\ **The Area Patrol Boat**  is a Riverboat (Shallop) that has a lateen sail and lee boards, for a sailing speed of 3mph.  It is crewed by marines. |{{ :pathfinder:off-the-shelf:hog_boat.jpg?200 |}} |

 ===== Commercial Ship Yard =====
 This yard makes sailing vessels that merchants and shipping companies use for trade.  They can, however, be armed or used as troop transports -  so many National Navies, buy these vessels and arm them, particularly for carrying important people and fighting longer distance wars.  Some merchants use armed vessels on 'difficult' trade routes - although these are often only lightly armed, when compared to military use.  Most merchant crews are made up of (about) 50% commoners (basic Sailors), 25% Warriors (Topsmen/defence) and 25% experts (Captain, Navigator, Senior Sailors in skilled roles)
-|**Coaster** - Larger than a lugger, the standard coaster is also known as a Round Ship.  It has a single mast with a square sail, and enclosed cabin areas at each end of the vessel.  The small fore-cabin is used by the crew, while the larger rear cabin is used by  officers and passengers and forms a simple 'quarterdeck' that is used for controlling the vessel. It is the main vessel used for, short distance coastal work.  | {{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:coaster_-_cog.png?100|}} |

 | **Small Cutter** 750gp: 25ft x 10ft with a centre-board keel, a carvel hull and fitted with a Cutter sail plan.  Mainly used by the Harbour Patrol, rowed in harbour (max 0.5mph), sailed on the sea (Speed: 3.5mph), it is one of the fastest boats around and needs a crew or at least five (with one Master Seaman and two other sailors) sailors) to handle the oars or sails.  It can take seven passengers or marines but is not generally used for cargo.  Cutters need deep water to be really effective, and aren't at their best on rivers or lakes.  | {{:pathfinder:off-the-shelf:small_cutter.png?300|}} |
