Skute Smallship

The Skute is a smaller type of northern ship, primarily used for persons, couriers, passengers, small transport and general travelling. The Skute are a range smaller specialised vessels all with their own uses and all known to be fast sailing vessels. These ships have the advantage of being ready to sail at a short notice and only demand a small crew and little equipment. Due to the small size these ships can easily be hidden from view and are quick to get ready to sail without attracting too much attention.
