Despite being a small sailing ship, a sloop is still the most popular ship among pirates. Sloops are fast, highly maneuverable, and have a shallow hull (easily sailing over shoals). Without wind, the ship could easily be powered by a few pair of oars.

A sloop has a single mast, usually with a headsail and a large mainsail. The mainsail can be a triangular sail, or a gaff rigging (with or without a top sail). The ship only required a small crew, but could hold a small boarding party for raiding.

Sloops tend to be anywhere from 45-70 ft long, and 15 ft wide.
