Rarity: Rare

Type: Ship

Movement: 1S+1L

Personally I like one-masters, always have, especially the really cheap ones (i.e. Rover).  This is a great little ship, though she’s really overpriced.  Seems like I say that a lot, but in this case it’s 100% true.  The ability, such as it is, seems superfluous, unless you add a musketeer or a marine on board, and since the only marine thus far for Americans has a +1 against Corsairs, it doesn’t make much sense.  Still, any time you can get 3 cargo out of 1 mast, you’re not doing too horribly.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, one-masters don’t garner that much attention in the collecting world.  You can usually get them in a trade for a single rare crew or for a couple uncommons.  Harlequin, being three sets old, is no exception.
