Confused.
The hull is meant to be reminiscent of a galleon with its high castles. But
galleons usually had three masts, not two. The Skull's Eye Schooner is a
closer to a galleon with the third mast mounting a lateen sail. The mizzenmast
could fly squaresails instead of a lateen. But just to confuse things,
galleons usually had a spritsail, not a jib (the Armada Flagship hints at a
spritsail off its bowsprit). The BSB's rigging is closer to a brig: two
masted, square sails, and jib, though it is missing the spanker (this could be
added easily). A brig-rigged galleon?
