They also have the net where you can get wet while you sail. They also have seperate 'rooms' when you need some space. I think I'd prefer them although I'm no sailor. There's plenty of second hand one's around to save time and the hassle of building. Just paint the FSM on the side and sails and away you go...yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Hmmm maybe two ho's is being greedy ;) Cat’s are good cos you don’t have to live life at sea on a lean. They also have the net where you can get wet while you sail.

I think all the Pastafarians would love to have a visit from the only man to so-far write a book in the Ghospel of the FSM. I think if you were to make a worldwide voyage and every Pastafarian chipped in $5 when you visited their home port you would soon gain plenty of booty to spread amongst the needy. This would also gain media attention; that a man in pirate regalia is sailing the world gathering money for charity :) I also like previous suggestions to save a bit extra for a Schooner. This would also be an inter-refference of the love of beer which the FSM has graced us and himself with. rAmen to you, and well done on actually gaining the $100,000.

If you have your heart set on a homebuilt, have a look at ferroconcrete designs, they are usually cheaper and quicker builds, and hull repairs in distant atolls when your navigation skills are impaired by too much grog are usually cheap and quick, requiring only a little chicken wire and cement.....

By having an actual, physical commonplace to convene we add credibility to our beliefs and bring in more followers, which in the end helps the world by getting more kind-hearted pastafarian donations and lowering the global temperature. If we started taxing every official follower 15% of their income and building giant stone stripper factories to his noodleyness, then yeah we'd have a problem. But we need at least one non-internet place to get together! PS. I think Venganza ought to be in the ship's name.

I used to be a boat builder and had to build 2 Wharrams for clients. They are easy to build and have great PR (topless women on almost every page of their catalogue) and look kind of piratty, but they are not good boats. The internal space is almost non-existant for the size. The Kelsall Cats have a much better layout with almost 4x the internal room, full head height and less draw. 63 foot is an awesome length though Please don’t get a Wharram.

The Kiva donations ease my guilt somewhat, but I remain undecided. But since everyone is so keen (and I buckle to peer pressure), BUILD. Build something that looks like a pirate ship. Non-piratey appearances are an offence of the highest degree. If not, then we're at risk of being considered 'people', rather than pirates. Even if the first ship is small, there's nothing to say we can't have a fleet of ships. Start at one, then work up as we spread the word. And whatever we spend, it'll be tax deductible anyway - we're a religion. Hmmmm… considering I’d really rather you didn’t #6. The Kiva donations ease my guilt somewhat, but I remain undecided.

It definitely needs 1) enough room for a HUGE party 2) lots of piratical decorations and 3) one or more kegerators. A constant supply of beer is crucial for such a vessel. Also, the ship must be able to cross the atlantic and come to Copenhagen - lots of believers, lots of beer and lots of saucy wenches. Be a true believer, and show it on your facebook.

A small schooner or cutter type vessel with a cabin would not be any more expensive than the pictured cat. Also For a true pirate ship you need far more rigging.
