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.  
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[edit]

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.
