 ===== Sailing Ship =====
+Sailing ships cover a range of deepwater vessels capable of sailing over long distances, I use three different categories.  However, they all sial at the same sort of speed and serve similar - only the size,cago capacity and weapon criteria change.  Note that the  cost for Light and Standard ships does not include crew or any weaponry.  The  cost of Man-o-War covers crew a  unit of marines and a half complement of weapons.

Some ship’s boats* are reserved for the use of off icers, while others are used as landing craft or to carry boarding parties. An average ship’s boat is 16 to 24 feet long (though the largest ship’s boats can be upward of 30 feet long) and has anywhere from four to 10 oars as well as a single mast with a square or lateen sail. A ship’s boat has a waterborne speed of 2 miles per hour or 20 miles per day. A ship’s boat cannot carry any siege engines.

-  * This ship is crafted of reinforced wood with a single mast and magically treated sails, although oars can also propel it. A warship is used for short-distance forays and troop deployment, as it does not have cargo space to carry supplies for large numbers of passengers over a long distance.

The largest Norse* longships, called drekar or drakkar, as well as very large galleys such as galleasses and lantern galleys, are all considered warships.

   * For an additional 8,000 gp, a warship can be fitted with a ram and castles with firing platforms fore, aft, and amidships. Each of these firing platforms can hold a single Large or Huge direct-fire or indirect-fire siege engine. Siege engines on the fore and aft firing platforms can be swiveled to fire out the sides of the ship or either forward or aft, depending on their position. A siege engine on the amidships can be swiveled to fire out either side of the ship.
