The Starsailor is a large figure. Its shadow looms over the Dock of Riya Village when the sun is in the right position. It is a nao ship, or 'carrack-style.' It is slightly smaller than a frigate, while larger than a caravel. The ship has a crow's nest, three-decked, and cannons lined up on each side. Without the enemy knowing, in a gunpowder room at the bottom of the hull is a line of culverines (thin-necked cannons that shoot longer distances and higher with chains to destroy masts and riggings). This makes the Starsailor tough to fight in a sea battle. The wheel is wooden, on a little platform on the main deck. This allows the captain, Erksta Riverrider, to remain at the wheel while making commands. The ship is a magnificent figure.
