From YPPedia
The functionality of YPP's newest ship, the Xebec, has been opened up for discussion on the Puzzle Pirates forums. The Xebec is a medium sized ship requiring a larger than average crew of similar classed ships. Having the same influence as a war brig but requiring 15 more pirates to staff it makes it impractical for blockades. It's relatively small resistance to damage renders it unreliable for anything but the shallowist Atlantis run. It's larger crew capacity than the war brig does allow it to a fall as a practical pillaging ship between the war brig and war frigate but lacks the larger shot to compensate the increased enemy difficulty.
The discussion continues on the Puzzle Pirates forums. [1]
