libertà: /liber’ta/ Italian for "Liberty" or "freedom". This true Medium Sized ship from Black Rose Ship yards has been some time in the making, but we think she will be well worth the wait. Not only is she BRS' first true medium, but she is also the first to have square sails for the down wind run. While not as fast into the wind or as maneuverable as previous ships from the Black Rose yard, libertà makes up for it with two extra guns tucked up under the stern platform for a little surprise for any ships trying to sneak up on her from behind.
Based on ships from Southern Europe (the city states of Italy, southern France, and even the Greek isles) the "tartana" style ships were a blend of the best of Europe and Arabia. They were the first European Ships to use the "lateen" style sail which allowed them to sail very close to the wind, yet were built heavily with an internal framework of ribs, battens, and fasteners for strength.
