-Much smaller than most pirate ships, she is built light with large sails - and is faster than you expect.  She doesn't carry much cargo, and she doesn't need a large crew -  but she can deal with keelers and coasters.  She just needs to keep out of the way of proper pirate ships.  She is based at Crab Island, and will patrol the local waters, taking 'Taxes' from small vessels that pass through.  She generally only takes 1/2 a point of plunder, or a 50-100gp fee from an empty (or fishing) ship.+Much smaller than most pirate ships, she is built light with large sails - and is faster than you expect.  She doesn't carry much cargo, and doesn't need a large crew -  but she can carry enough troops to intimidate smaller, less well armed vessels - she just needs to keep out of the way of proper pirate ships.    While she can cope with the open sea, //Golden Brown// is happiest in shallow and sheltered waters, and is susceptible to damage in fierce storms.

 +A Dhow is a very simple boat, it has a cabin for the skipper, and a single cargo deck below the main deck.  The 'ceiling' is low, meaning most humans have to bend slightly, or bump their heads.  The crew cabin is at the back of the ship, below the skipper's cabin, and provides hammock space for the crew, as well as cooking facilities and eating space for everyone (including the skipper).  Cargo is stored forward of the crew cabin.
