Sloop

The ship salesman says, "Sloops are single masted and are classified as a LIGHT ship.  They are faster than any ship on the sea.  We can outfit it with TWO cannons per side to start with a maximum of THREE.  It can't hold much in the cargo hold and the hull can't take much damage.  You can bring along up to TWO friends with you on this pup.  This is an excellent starting point for any aspiring captain!  This ship costs 5,000,000 silvers."
