• Design Notes:

Structure is Medium, with Standard materials. Waterproofed. Armor is DR 5 Standard Wood. The volume of the armor is figured into the design, as per the rules on p. VEii5. The ship’s volume was taken as 100 cf per displacement ton. The main mast height was given in the historical information, the mizzenmast height was determined from a photo of the ship. Design sail area was 2,975 sf; the real-world value is shown. Design draft was 4.2’; the real-world value is shown. Although the actual ship was built during TL7, the designers actually used TL4 techniques, and this design uses TL4 figures for cost and weight.
