I think this is a cracking little ship, ideal to fill the gap between the big ships schooner and the rowing boats, and I've already got one being ordered for me.
This size of boat would be used for dozens of jobs in and out of harbour, such as supplying the fleet, allowing the big ships of the Royal Navy to stay where they were needed - blockading enemy ports.
Also ideal, as this ship is set up, as a vessel for pirates to nip out from the coast to snag a prize
While I like the big pirate ships, their size makes them difficult to move about. For a Playmobil boat to travel with, this is the business.
