At a schooner or a brig the case can be the same. This case unsuccessfully mixes appearance of courts of 18 centuries with contours a clipper-schooners 19-20cc. It is better to take the drawing of an old vessel, probably, having reduced the sizes.

Just happens that the 2 original 18 century boats shared the same name. Sloop Swift and Schooner Swift. But for our purpose the similarities to older vessels stopped there. The object of the whole project is to retain some of the character of the ancient into a reduced size with lower displacement. Therefore not a pure replica.
