Taipan

"'The Taipan is a fast, maneuverable ship capable of performing a number of roles.' - Shipwright Summary"

Summary
The Taipan is one of three ships added in the April of 2020 update (alongside the Alliance and the Hook).

The ship is very similar to the Bullet, in which both have the exact same armaments and whopping speed of 9. The differences are that the Taipan carries slightly more cargo, smaller in size and can sail upwind. The Taipan is the second fastest ship (after Raider) in the game along with Bullet, because of it having speed 9 and Junk sails. Because of these statistics it is a fantastic ship for piracy. With it's admirable speed, the Taipan will come up behind ships, steal the cargo, and speed away before the robbed crew can retaliate. Many smart pirates would highly recommend not using this ship against high health ships or heavy broadsides due to this ship´s lack of good cannons, though if you can get on the enemy ship, the Taipan is one of the deadliest pirate vessels in Tradelands.
