33 Ship Design: Brethren's Ketch is a Recipe Papers item that unlocks the Brethren Ketch, the vicious 8-gun Ketch variant of the Brethren of the Coast. The Brethren Ketch trades the Stock Ketch's lighter hull for a tougher frame: more HP, slower top speed, and the same three primary cannons.

1717 How to Get the Design

1919 Sold by the Brethren of the Coast Provisioner at a mid-tier Brethren reputation. The Brethren Ketch design is cheaper than the Brig and Frigate equivalents, so it is usually the first faction-locked ship a new Brethren-aligned player can afford.

2323 Treat the Brethren Ketch as the durability upgrade for the Stock Ketch: same combat profile, more buffer when a fight lasts longer than expected.If you regularly take chip damage from Naval Combat patrols on the way back to base, the +30% HP from Stock Ketch to Brethren Ketch is the cheapest survivability upgrade in the game.
