Keelboat
Keelboats are cargo-capable small to mid-sized single mast boats. They come in two major varieties, both designed for sailing in low depth waters.
River Keelboats, have shallow structural keels and are nearly flat-bottomed. These vessels often used in Phrelle as river trading or small cargo ships operating between riverside towns.
Ocean Keelboats have prominent fixed fin keels and have a slightly more profound, more shapely hull. These vessels designed for single or small group travel compared to the more massive Sailing Ship.
Propulsion
Keelboats rely upon their single mainsail for most of their propulsion, with the ability to use oars by a single man, making them manageable as individual crew vessels.
Weapons & Armament
In rare cases where a keelboat is equipped with any armament, generally, a Ballista is placed in the bow of the ship.
