 ====== Brigantine ======
-{{:gaeleth:ships:ship-brig.jpg|}}
+The brigantine is a two-masted sailing ship requiring extensive training and expertise to safely operate.  Like the [[sloop]], the brigantine (often shortened to 'brig') comes in a variety of sizes and sail plans that gives it considerable flexibility.  Most brigantines are designed for distance sailing at higher speeds, and have relatively high crew numbers.

-The brigandine is the faster version of the sloop, based off of a modified sloop hull. Reinforced for ocean-going travels, and with an added mast to support the greater speeds, the brigandine is the mainstay of distance shipping and defense for most of Gaeleth. Well armed for their size, and able to outrun most other vessels, the brigandine is is the ship of choice for many merchants and pirates. As an added beneift, their small draft allows them to dock at shallow-water ports for quick loading and unloading.

+===== Frigate Brig =====
-The three crow's nests are often platforms nearly five feet on a side, allowing for a fair number of archers, spotters, and crossbowmen to rain a deadly hail of missiles onto enemy decks. Usually, the snipers in the crow's nests target officers or important-looking persons. On merchant vessels, the crow's nests serve as lookouts and guides.
-. **Main Deck**: The main deck sports the two cargo hatches. Four light ballistae are usually stowed and tarped, here. The two forward masts usually have a block-and-tackle or primative crane for unloading larger cargos from belowdecks, but the majority of cargos do not require them. After are located the deck cabins.
