Sanguine II
Sanguine II is an ex-Chelaxian Navy Cutter. She is shorter than most other sailing ships and is wider than you might expect. She has a radical sail layout, with a single mast equipped with a large gaff sail , a square sail, and a couple of head sails. Because of the large gaff sail, it doesn’t have a raised foredeck or poop, so all cabins and storage are below deck, which leaves less room for cargo. However, it still needs a full crew of 20. Because of the reduced cargo space, cutters are not favoured by merchants, but are mainly naval (or pirate) vessels. The cramped Captain’s cabin, and the small marine force that they carry, means that naval cutters are often commanded by a fairly junior officer.
Stats are exactly the same as a Sailing Ship – EXCEPT that she has a sturdy hull and a reduced cargo capacity.

All three of these ex-galley slaves were taken at the same time, from the same village. Between them, they managed to hang together through thick and thin.
