			The Brigantine (a.k.a. Brig) In all respects other than sails rigging there is little or no difference between these two vessels.

	Similar to a barque, a brigantine is built for slightly better speed, but the trade-off is that she has less of a capacity for battle. Almost the exact same size and shape—about seventy feet—she has some gunports replaced with rigging and longboats.

=Description=
Barques are shallow-draft three-masted ships with one or more of the masts being fore-and-aft rigged. The fore-and-aft rigging makes these ships fast when sailing close-hauled, but slow when sailing large.

The standard Barque design has been around for a very long time, and is extremely popular in the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean and Caribbean. They are not good vessels in rough seas, and few dare to take them out into the stormy North Atlantic.
