Nahh I don’t get it, how’s a swift hemp sailcloth and swift reinforced wooden hull slower then yours 
Welp, not anymore.
Crew/deckhand maybe?
Wait no, theres no cannons lmao.
They get added up at the shipyard UI?
Ez Caravel W
I guess so then.
If that’s the case my ketch would have 113 speeds max, v cool
Deckhands then?
Caravel is for when you’re sad frigate isn’t ingame yet.
Ketch is for literally everything else.
Faster movement speed, more deckhand slots, more cannons, easier to aim cannons, high health, an extra quartermaster slot, and so on all at the cost of a ram.
where does caravel possibly win.
the ram
ship of the line 
oh you fool
caravel superiority
honestly I’m only using the caravel because the ketch’s flat ass deck looks really stupid
I really need to farm those sealed chests for a decent speed sail material now
ram solos
I’ve had caravel players try to ram my ship, they can’t keep up with my ketch even during ramming speed lol.
when I’m fighting in naval combat, the fight is 100% in my hands because I’ve min-maxed my ship completely and there is very little the NPC or player can do if they haven’t too.
their only hope is to board my ship… if I let them get that close.
this is definitely a problem with the system lol.

Easy lightning ram charge. Sure you can move out of the way but im still 2x faster if not 3x
