Arr! We'll trounce them!
Suffice it to say a multi-era group of ships find themselves lost in a
strange new world... and are menaced by 'monsters' :) I don't want to reveal
to much until the flagship is ready... hopefully soon.

Is indeed a sloop... though a rather large one. Usually sloops carried no
more than 18 guns, but I took a little license in building her. By some
scales (which at the time in the early 1800s would change yearly) she could
be called a 6th-rate frigate, but she wouldn't be much of one.
Custom hulls are a big PAIN, but they do add a lot of flexibility. All a
matter of preference, I think. You'll notice, though, all those cutters are
nice and prefab :)
