Sloop could be ran with a 2- 3 man crew
Gallon i find should be 4-8man crew and i wouldnt mine seeing more options as far a boat variation goes maybe a smaller 1 sail 1 cannon boat for the solo players
Something like the photo in the url below but equipped with a single cannon at the front
if there was a smaller boat with 1 cannon pointed forward for them solo players trimming anchoring and cannon use is hard when solo not everyone has friends galore
i member sidmiers pirates you could get grape shot to shred the crew on deck and chain shot to take down the mask of a boat to cripple them to stop them from running would be pre cool.
Grapeshot
A mass of solid iron metal pellets used in cannons to attack crewmen.
These can be purchased at Cargo Shops, as well as found aboard captured ships. They must be stored on ships in order to be used
Chainshot
When fired, after leaving the muzzle, the shot's components tumble in the air, and the connecting chain fully extends. In past use, as much as six feet of chain would sweep through the targets mask. However, the tumbling made both bar and chain shot less accurate, so they were used at medium to short ranges
In artillery, chain-shot is an type of projectile formed of two sub-calibre balls, or half-balls, chained together. Bar shot is similar, but joined by a solid bar. They were used in the age of sailing ships and black powder cannons to shoot masts, or to cut the shrouds and and any other rigging of a target ship. Image urls attached below
