This looks like real sailing

However "breezing up" just does not look right

See what I mean? And breezing up is worth 5X's Catboat.

Looks like the former is a crude watercolor of the latter. But
neither
are cat boats as neither are gaff-rigged. Looks like Breezing Up has
a
sprit sail and it looks like Homercatboat deleted it and tried to
make
it look like a big jib. . . I think you might have gotten either the
pictures or your descriptions backwards as it looks to me like
Breezing
Up is more realistically portrayed.

Crude? Haa! Simple maybe, but not crude.

Is this crude?

Same anchorage that " Cut the Cheese" is moored.

That looks like a Bahamas-built hull. Probably from the Albury shipyards
on Green Turtle cay. But the rig is all wrong. Bahamas boats are all
sloops with very long booms and not ketch-rigged. So that picture is
probably of a Jamaican boat. Note the "Darkies" aboard.
