Was just thinking about ship statistics, and decided that it's only fair that
you should have some idea of how ships compare against each other.

Class 1's have a base number of hps (the exact number really doesn't matter
since you can't cast your normal spells at ships for damage). Relative to
class 1:
Class 2: 4x the hps
Class 3: 9x the hps
Class 4: 16x the hps
Class 5: 25x the hps
Class 6: 36x the hps
The formula should be obvious if you've had any math . So for a matter of
clarity, a class 6 ship has 4x the hps as a class 3.

Now, these hps are split up amongst your ship parts. 60% go to the hull, 30%
to the sails, and 10% to the rudder (of course, the rudder is generally very
hard to hit in combat).

So, make of those stats what you will.
