I was using it in the sense of the term as Steve Jackson uses it in his Pirate

Not tubby enough (IMHO). Whenever I get an extra brown midsection, I can
return one of my CCs to its proper hull, which would release the red hull to
become a 1 center section Fluyt. They had fluyts post 1870? I thought they
were much earlier.
