SAILING Sailing These parameters determine how your ship sails. Max Speed: Maximum Speed SHIPHow fast your ship can move in battles. Improving battle speed does not improve Open Sea speed. Acceleration: Acceleration Determines how fast the ship gains speed. Deceleration: Deceleration Determines how fast the ship loses speed. Lower values are better if you want to maintain speed, higher values are better if you want to stop quickly. Turning (Fast): Fast Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at maximum speed. Turning (Slow): Slow Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at a speed of at least 4 knots. Turning Accel: Max Turning Acceleration This shows how fast a ship accelerates into a turn. The higher the value, the faster the ship reaches its maximum turn rate. Turning Decel: Min Turning Deceleration Ships gradually suffer less deceleration as they turn. This shows a minimum amount of deceleration a ship has when turning. Lower numbers (relative to other acceleration stats) are better. Best Point: Best Point The wind angle at which the ship can attain its maximum speed. The wind comes from angle 0o, and angle 180o is running with the wind at your back. Capacity: Capacity How many units of cargo the ship can hold. O.S. Visibility: Open Sea Visibility How far away other ships will spot you on the open sea. O.S. Spotting: Open Sea Spotting Increases your spotting range, allowing you to detect ships beyond their O.S. Visibility. Crew: Crew The maximum number of crew on your ship. Shows the fighting strength of your crew. Target Tracking: Target Tracking Reduces the accuracy penalties you suffer due to your movement and your target's movement. Improves your chance to hit fast moving ships. |

25 ( Large) LEVEL (SIZE): Level and Size4 12219 The level required to use this ship, and the size of the hull. DURABILITY: Durability The number of ships you have left. Decreases by 1 whenever the ship is defeated in combat (with the exception of skirmish). INSURANCE VALUE: Insurance Value Amount of doubloons you will receive for this ship if she is sunk or scuttled. |

Bow: Bow (Front) The ship's bow armor. Armor facings protect the ship's hull. Stern: Stern (Rear) The ship's stern armor. Armor facings protect the ship's hull. Sails: Sails & Masts Shows how much damage the ship's sails and masts can sustain. Ships lose speed as they take sail damage. |

General
A large Polacre that doesn't pack much punch, but has exceptional boarding capabilities. It also is very agile for it's size. Due to it's good OS speed, excellent polars and spacious cargo, it can also adapt well to fill a secondary role as fast, medium hauler with the proper OS speed fittings.
History
European navies were impressed by the Barbary Corsairs and their Xebecs which harried Mediterranean shipping unless bribes were paid. As a counter the "polacre," "poleacre" or "polacca" was created. This ship carries a hybrid mast system. It is similar to a Xebec, sharing the same hull design, but has a square-rigged main mast in place of the Xebec's lateen. Thus it retains the excellent close haul and beam reach sailing charateristics of the Xebec while still able to pursue ships sailing broad reach and running before the wind.
This ship was modelled by "Spankybus" Mignone after the French "La Mystique" of 1750.

Distinguishing Characteristics
A Xebec hull with a hybrid sail design utilizing both a lanteen rigged mast and a ship (or square) rigged mast. Some polacres had a lanteen foremast and ship rigged main and mizzen masts, others have the ship rig on the foremast and have a lanteen on the main mast.
