- | ++++ Construction Types | | ||
- | * Simple (DC10)= Flat bottomed, square-ish hull, basic techniques. Good for very calm shallow waters, slow rivers and swamps. | ||
- | * Carvel (DC15) = Butted planks with round hull. Good general inshore boats - But don’t cope well with fast waters or heavy weather. | ||

- | **Speed** | ||
- | |||
- | Speed are shown in Miles per Hour. Rowed speeds are an average, crews might be able to go faster for a short distance. | ||
- | |||
- | If you are on a river, you might want to add 2 miles an hour for down stream travel, but then remember to subtract it for upstream travel. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Personally, I tend to use the given values - unless I have a reason not to. | ||
- | ===== No Boatyard ===== | ||
- | |||
- | There are a few very simple vessels that can be built without access to specialized tools and facilities. | ||
- | |||
- | |**Coracle** 5gp: A light frame made from sticks and covered in leather, that is light enough that it can be picked up and carried easily by one man. It is often used by lone fishermen or marsh dwellers. | ||
- | |**Raft** 10gp: 10ftx8ft. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Basic Boatyard ===== | ||
- | |||
- | A basic boatyard can build vessels, up to 30feet in length, using a variety of construction techniques. | ||
- | |||
- | ^ Row Boat Variants || | ||
- | |**Punt-Skiff** 40gp: 15ft x 5ft. A punt-skiff is a flat-bottomed boat that is intended for use in still or shallow water. | ||
- | |**Row Boat** 45gp: Standard rowing boat, 15ft x 5ft, used as a tender and as a small boat for local work. It does not come with a sail but you can upgrade a Row Boat by fitting a mast and simple sail for 5gp. However, they don't sail particularly well. They are best in quiet waters such as small rivers, harbours or very near the coast. \\ DC 10, Crew:1, Passengers: | ||
- | |**Dinghy** 50gp: Looking very much like a rowing boat, 15ft x 5ft, a dinghy is designed for sailing and copes better with rough water better. | ||
- | ^ Ship's Boat variants || | ||
- | |**Swamp Boat** 500gp: Sometimes known as a Great Punt, is 20 ft x 10 ft with a very shallow draught, a Great Punt is little more than an extra large punt-skiff, and cannot be fitted with a sail. It needs a minimum crew of three paddlers/ | ||
- | |**Fishing Boat** 500gp: | ||
- | |**Launch** 500gp: | ||
- | ^Other Vessels|| | ||
- | |**Shallop (Riverboat)** 2000gp: | ||
- | |**Pinnace** 2000gp: | ||
- | ===== Large Boatyard ===== | ||
- | A large boatyard can build vessels, up to 60 feet in length, using a variety of construction techniques. | ||
- | |**Flatboat** 500gp: 40ftx15ft. | ||
- | |**Keeler** 3000gp: 45ftx15ft - Built shallow and narrow (with lee boards), a keeler carries a square sail, has a cabin set midship and open holds at each end. The single cabin is about ten feet wide and fifteen feet long and is fitted with benches along each side This vessel has a shallow draught and is well suited to carrying passengers and cargo along canals, rivers, and lakes, although it can cope with estuaries if it has to. The keeler is the workhorse of the Sellen. \\ DC20, Crew:8, Speed Rowed: 1.5mph, Speed Sailed: | ||
- | |**River Wherry (Gundalow)** 3500gp: 55ftx20ft - Built shallow | ||
- | |**Sailing Barge (Scow)** 4000gp: | ||
- | |**Lugger** 4500gp: | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Great Boatyard ===== | ||
- | |||
- | A great boatyard builds large vessels that aren't suitable for river use or, in some cases, aren't good for long distance travel. | ||
- | |||
- | |**Hoy** - Gargantuan ship - Squares 2 (20 ft. by 55 ft.) Cost 6,500 gp \\ **DEFENSE**: | ||
- | |**Cog** - Gargantuan ship - Squares 2 (20 ft. by 60 ft.) Cost 7,000 gp \\ **DEFENSE**: | ||
- | |**Light Galley** - Colossal ship - Squares 2 (15 ft. by 75 ft.) Cost 12,000 gp \\ **DEFENSE**: | ||
- | ===== Commercial Ship Yard ===== | ||
- | |||
- | This yard makes sailing vessels that merchants and shipping companies use for trade. | ||
- | |||
- | |**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. | ||
- | |**Light Ship** - This is the smallest vessel that is really seaworthy, although she is mainly used for longer distance coastal work. Equipped with two masts, and square sails, a light ship often has a small gaff sail attached to the aft mast. She has better lines and sails faster than the coaster, carries more cargo and has better passenger accommodation. | {{: | ||
- | |**Heavy Ship** - Similar in design to a light ship, a heavy ship carries three masts, two with square sails and the last with a great gaff sail to help with steerage. | ||
- | |**Great Ship**| {{: | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Naval Ship Yard ===== | ||
- | |||
- | This yard makes galleys for the navies of the Hann Empire. | ||
- | |**Light Galley**| {{ : | ||
- | |**Galley**|{{ : | ||
- | |**Heavy Galley**|{{ : | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== Others ===== | ||
- | |||
- | These vessels are not, generally, available in The Stolen lands or the Hann Empire or Stolen Lands game. | ||
- | |||
- | | **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. | ||
- | |**Coastal Cutter** 5000gp: | ||
- | |**Karvi** 7500gp: 65ft x 15ft, the Karvi is powered by a bank of twenty oars (10 per side) and is fitted with a square sail. Many have a ram fitted to the bow, just above the water line, which is intended to hold the rammed vessel close, ready for boarding, rather than sink it. Favoured by pirates, this open vessel doesn' | ||
