Fast Galleon

A swifter, lighter version of the fortress-like War Galleon or the titanic Flag Galleon, the Fast Galleon lives up to its name and is able to outpace any merchant vessel on the sea and it can also catch other warships such as Brigs and Brigantines with no trouble.

It's four masts and huge sails allow it to make the most of the wind when sailing large and its bulkheads have been stripped down to make it lighter in the water than other galleons. The lateen sails on its mizzen assist in tacking against the wind making it capable of sailing on a close reach and the small spinnaker sail on its bowsprit give the fast galleon additional propulsion when sailing large.

The Fast Galleon sacrifices the toughness of other galleons for speed and is not capable of withstanding the amount of punishment as its slower, heavier counterparts. However its formidable speed combined with its 32 guns and 200 crew make a fast galleon astern a sight that would chill the blood of any merchant Captain.
