I see no reason why we can't stretch the xebec. After all, Rakin could very well have had it fitted out to his particlar likings and needs when the Fame and Fortune came to him, or it's even concievable that his favorite despots mandated the ship to be fitted a certain way, just as a function of the navy's needs or because Sangalazin really wants his frescos. Which would be kinda an interesting conflict between them, I think. But His Royal Perkyness gets the final word on that, I suppose.
