Light, variable, storm.

Early experiments found wrought iron superior to cast iron; wrought iron was subsequently adopted for Imperial French ironclad airships.

1 Square-rigged masts allow the hoisting of numerous small sails that are more efficient than a single large sail. Fore-and-aft sails can be flown with a reduced crew and are efficient when working to windward. 2 A cannonball hole in a small sail affects only one sail. A hole in a large sail would eventually tear a larger area and reduce further the vessel’s flying power. 3 Four rotating Michaux cannon based on the Gribeauval system.
