How many cannons does an average Barque need ? ? ?
 

You know, the seven seas are full of pirates, terrorists and other
scum.

So how many cannons do you recommend for the average Barque to scare
of the scum of the seven seas?

Six.


See - I can just give out plain answers without lots of calculations and
coefficients and book reccommendations ;-)

Steve "barque me!!"

No no no. Do I have to explain everything???

42.

Have you forgotten your Douglas Adams?

Although there's actually no record of a barque-rigged ship of war that I am
aware of. The barque rig was developed down toward the end of the age of
square-rigged sail, as a means of reducing the crew requirements for
commercial square-rigged vessels, and I don't believe that it showed up much
before the beginning of the 20th century.

I'm just riffing here, of course. I don't give a fart in a gale for the OP,
who's probably just home alone feeling lonely and unloved.

Relax Nick. This is the lonely wail of an unmated, adolecent, "North
American Nerd Bird". This is their mating season, and the very weak
and unnattractive ones seldom find mates, so they sit there and
wail... Sad really...
