Sloop

A sloop is a fore-and-aft rigged ship, normally with only one mast although larger ships with two or even three masts could also be referred to as war sloops or sloops-of-war.

Sloops in Pirates Onlines can be found as Light Sloop, Sloop, and War Sloop.

Generally, sloops are the fastest ships, with a light, thin hull. This shallow hull only allows for minimum cargo and broadside guns. It also means the vessels are lighter armored, with the thinnest armor at the sides.
