Research

from our research we have been mainly focusing on the basic structure of the ship, as Junks are so different from contemporary European Galleons and Caravels.

As opposed to:

You can see some of the main differences are in the sails, galleons had big cloth sails hanging from the masts, rather loose, while the junks had "Ribs" in theirs, they were also made from bamboo, which was much lighter than the cloth.

Junks also have a very broad hull, which allows them to be shallower, they also have a very nice curve running all the way through it , which , combined with the tilt of the sails gives it a fast, sleek and deadly look.
