Sailing Ship

The lifeblood of the maritime trade and exploration are the various Sailing Vessels. One of the more plentiful vessels in the oceans of the world, each sailing ship, tends to have its quirks and specialties as does each captain.

Propulsion

Sailing Ships require wind to power their three sails (Aft, Midship, and Forward). Unlike the Galley or Warship, the Sailing Ship has no Oars to help with gaining momentum when the winds are low.

Weapons & Armament

Most Sailing Ships come without a standard armament, as they are generally trade vessels. When sailing in dangerous waters in which conflict may arise, some Sailing ships are equipped with a Ballista in the forecastle and Mangonel on the main deck.

Layout

1. Main Deck
The main deck of the ship has a number of features:

• Mangonel. Sailing ships have one mangonel attached to the deck.
• Hatch. A covered, 10-foot square opening leads to the lower deck.
• Railing. The Main deck has a 3-foot-high rail around its perimeter that provides half cover for Medium creatures and three-quarters cover for small creatures behind it.
• Rowboats. Four rowboats are stacked on top of each other on this deck. Ropes and pulleys can hoist these boats in and out of the water.

3. Captain's Quarters
The captain's quarters hold a bed and a desk. Beneath the bed is an iron footlocker that holds the captain's belongings.
6. Forecastle
The forecastle has the following features:

• Ballista. A ballista is attached to the deck. Ten ballista arrows are stacked and secured nearby.
• Figurehead. Warships have an iron figurehead at the front of their forecastle, often shaped to look like a fearsome sea predator.
• Railing. The forecastle has a 3-foot-high rail around its perimeter that provides half cover for Medium creatures and three-quarters cover for Small creatures behind it

7. Quarterdeck
The quarterdeck has the following features:

• Railing. The quarterdeck has a 3·foot-high rail around its perimeter that provides half cover for Medium creatures and three-quarters cover for Small creatures behind it.
