A boat for sand

Wood, dragon bone, metal, fabric, rope

Shipyards build and produce innovations in the dry climate of the Shiara Desert. Primarily wood body with dragon bone supports and outriggers, cloth sails, and metal joints to keep everything solid, along with attachment points for weapons like ballistae and cannons.

Primarily marketed towards hunters and the Hunters Guild, you can either tour the shipyard or receive a catalog from the company itself.

Usually around 100 gold to purchase one, but you can rent per day for 25 gold. A nice one can set you back around 150-400, anything above 400 is a sandyacht, and massive cargo ships like the Caravan uses cost thousands.

Most hunters can afford a small 4-man vessel, but anything above that is either a great birthday gift or something the Hunters Guild employs.

Fast travel across the Shiara Desert, along with providing a platform for exploration and hunting.

Like a mix between a sailboat and a toboggan.

Most small ones look like catboats, but the better, more expensive ones have more or larger sails to move faster. Hunter vessels are usually large and have a single sail but are decked out in weapons. Really nice ones even have Dragonators and gongs attached to them!

Anywhere from 18-400 feet long, with the masts scaling in size and number proportionally.

Colors are discouraged, mostly because it's a pain in the ass to have to repaint the ship every month or so depending on the winds and general use. You're better off replacing materials or staining the wood, but that's also very expensive.
