Love the Barquentine! Is that the ship you mentioned before with square rigged sails on a schooner-type ship? That would look superb as a game piece. Or how about a "Fire ship" with fire masts in place of the sails? It could move L on a die roll of 5 or 6. Instant sinking of any ship she rams.

I myself fancy the Howker and the Nave, although the latter might be too simaler too the current Five Masters (Frigates-Smaller ships of the lines).
Although the Fire ship should be a "normal" ship until its right under the nose of the enemy fleet - Then, it ignites, and could spread to other ships, or simply be blown harmlessly away or towed away.

fire ships were normally ships that were no longer needed so i dont think you're getting it back, and i've already made a clipper, it was a schooner hull like the Scarlet Pimpernel said with square rigged masts in the middle replacing the 1st and 2nd masts

Thats a clipper. I'm don't think the USS Enterprise (the ship on the left in the Production board thread "ship types") would be called a clipper. |

the only thing i know is that is one of the smaller ones, these ships could crowd a lot of sail

The clipper I posted seems to be flying "The Lone star" flag of Texas on the mainmast, no? I'll look where I found it.
