This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2010-07-19
Oceanic Raft v1.0 (TL1) Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer This raft could represent an early bronze age watercraft, capable of crossing the Atlantic or even the Pacific if the wind is fortunate, or the work of castaways from a more advanced civilization. The Oceanic Raft consists of logs laid side by side with a notional prow and a rudder in the rear, and a platform above the water for the crew and provisions. She can sail effectively with the wind astern or even on the quarter, but tacking against the wind is quite impossible. A full load of provisions is $4,500.
