   * This small boat has two to four oars and is primarily used to ferry a few passengers across small areas of water such as a harbor, stream, or small lake. Larger ships use rowboats as tenders or lifeboats. A rowboat cannot carry any siege engines. This stat block can be used to represent any of a number small open boats propelled by oars, such as dinghies, dories, skiffs, and wherries.
 ===== 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.

These siege engines may only fire out the sides of the ship that they are positioned on, and cannot fire toward the forward or aft sides of the ship. In addition, up to two Large direct-fire or indirect-fire* siege engines may be carried, positioned one each on the forecastle and one on the stern castle. These siege engines can be swivelled to fire out either side of the ship, or either forward or aft, depending on their position.
