The Fallen Star

A carrack is a three-masted sailing ship, being square-rigged on the foremast and mainmast and lateen-rigged on the mizzenmast. It has a high rounded stern with an aftcastle, a forecastle, and a bowsprit on the stem. The superstructures (mentioned before) are relatively large for the carracks size; making it prone to toppling in strong winds. A typical three-masted carrack has six sails, namely a bowsprit, foresail, mizzen, spritsail, and two topsails. Carracks are a relatively advanced design and not every seafaring people have the skills or knowledge to build them.   Carracks are ocean-going ships; large enough to be stable in heavy seas and roomy enough to carry provisions for long voyages.
