The craft below were designed using the draft Herbert watercraft system,
as was the submarine uploaded earlier today. You can see what these might
be for, based on the note about my campaign. (-:

Coastal Fishing Boat TL4
The fishing boat shown below is typical of those found on low tech
planets with useful sealife. While a crew of six would be normal for this
vessel, up to six additional crew members could be carried by 'hot berthing'
(allowing use of each bunk by a crew member for only 12 hours out of 24), an
uncomfortable and unpopular practice. At higher tech levels, a small auxil-
iary motor for harbor navigation is usually added.

Stacking Dory TL4
The stacking dory is a small boat typically found on fishing vessels,
where the ability to stack the boats, reducing the deck space taken up, is a
valuable feature. A single oarsman can propel the dory at half walking
speed, two or more at walking speed. Four seats are provided, but usually
only one or two crewmen are carried, with the extra space reserved for fish.
A small watertight cargo locker holds food, fresh water, and fishing sup-
plies.

Longboat TL4
The longboat is a small boat often carried aboard a larger vessel to
serve as a lifeboat, and also used for routine utility work such as transfer-
ring passengers ashore. At least four oarsmen are required to propel the
longboat at half walking speed, eight or more at walking speed. Twenty seats
are provided, and up to a half a ton of cargo can be carried, depending on
the load of passengers.
