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, 2014-11-03
Bermuda Sloop v1.0 (TL4) Copyright 2014 by Onno Meyer Sloops from Bermuda had a reputation as fast sailing vessels, popular with pirates and pirate hunters alike. They ranged from the West Indies to the Atlantic Seaboard, and even to Africa and the Indian Ocean. This sloop has one mast with a gaff sail and a square top sail, and a long bowsprit for the jibs. The main cargo hold is filled with hammocks for the large crew. The captain has a small cabin. The ship's boat is carried on deck or towed astern, especially in battle. Her armament consists of four 3-lbr. cannon and four swivel guns. The hull is pierced for eight guns, but few pirates can afford that many. A full load of ammunition and provisions is $8,160. Subassemblies: Body +6, four limited-rotation Open Mounts -1, Mast +2. Powertrain: 2,500 sf cloth sails, gaff and jib rig. Occ: XRCS, 5 XNCS, 39 hammocks, cabin. Cargo: 800 cf.
