I searched relatively hard for some blueprints... I didn't find any, but I did find a good pic of a schooner: http://www.namibian.org/travel/adventure/schooner.html. Most schooners are 105 ft long overall with an 80 foot deck, aprox. 20 foot beam, and 7.5 foot draft. I'm not sure about sail area, but when I find out I'll post it here. Of course, all these lengths will have to be changed into Meters for SH3.

As for relevance to WWII and U-boats, to the best of my knowledge schooners were used for trade in the Caribbean and for fishing off of Nova Scotia. Many schooners were sunk in the Caribbean by Uboats during the war.

Good luck
