"'The reinforced bow allows her to be armed with a long-range mortar.' - Shipwright Summary" undefined

Summary
The Kestrel is a level 5 ship with good health, cargo, armament and speed. She can serve well as a general multipurpose ship, and carries cannonball storage for naval battles.

Although having mediocre max armament, used correctly can output significant damage on an enemy. Preferred to use on small ships. This is a younger sister ship of the Manta.

Although she is meant to carry 6 cargo she is capable of caring 7 because of here U shaped fence at the stern (the back) of her body which is right in front of the driver seat. The U commonly know as the "U hold" or the "fence compartment". u fence will hold cargo in-place no matter the speed or turning rate of the ship. The U shape fence is not occupied by any cargo when loading the default 6 cargo on board, allowing a player to make 300 to 500 more Doubloons if making the "Whitecrest High-Profit Route"
