The following listing provides information regarding the various pirate vessels that were manufactured by the LEGO Group and includes model numbers. These comments are strictly opinion with respect to the the use of the rules and do not in any way affect the enjoyment of building the models as well as just looking at them. These are the only pirate ships that I know about, so if anyone knows of other ships or has a picture of one you've designed, send me an e-mail.

Renegade Runner, Model 6268

Unmodified: HF 3; SF 3; Crew 11; Speed 48; Length 24; SL 16
Modified: HF 3; SF 4; Crew 14; Speed 64; Length 24; SL 16
This is the smallest of the basic ships and is tied for slowest by the basic rules. However, it should not be underrated as a group of three Renegade Runners are quite capable of sinking most other stock ship models. The Renegade Runner becomes extremely deadly if you add the extra sail and cannon shown in the optional rules and the JPEG above.

Black Seas Barracuda, Model 6285

HF 6; SF 7; Crew 33; Speed 56; Length 48; SL 8
The first of the pirate ships, the Black Seas Barracuda is also the only one to come furnished with permanent cannons on both sides of the ship. The Barracuda is best suited to situations where there are targets on both sides of the ship.

Skulls Eye Schooner, Model 6286

HF 6; SF 8; Crew 34; Speed 64; Length 48; SL 8
The Skulls Eye Schooner is unquestionably the pinnacle of the pirate fleet with four swiveling cannons that can be moved side to side. This gives the big ship the flexibility to play multiple roles which is enhanced by her high Move.

Red Beards Runner, Model 6289

HF 5; SF 7; Crew 27; Speed 70; Length 40; SL 10
The latest in the pirate line, Red Beards Runner is quite deceptive at first. The ship is the fastest stock model with a speed of 70 and has three cannons that can slide from side to side. This ship is a close match for the Black Seas Barracuda even though she is smaller and carries fewer crew.
