The most commonly used ship is a sloop, though some people may use war brigs for this purpose. Jobbing generally comes more from flag connections and hearties than from the notice board, as many jobbers off the notice board have lower stats than needed. Sometimes people with the required stats may be turned down due to the pillage already having those particular stations filled. Usually what the officer in command wants is to have a pirate of grand-master or higher standing on each station: bilging, carpentry, gunning, and sailing.
