Any person knowledgeable about ship design?
Have a need to identify the type of ship that pic related is. The game it is from refers to it as a Windcatcher, though searching yields no results and even a little research leads to trouble finding ship types even similar.
Could be that it is based off something real, since the game tends to be pretty technical about ship design, but I'd have no idea what.
Assuming that the sails aft of the masts are intended to represent square-rigged sails, I would say that it is supposed to be a fully-rigged ship. The raised area of deck is not a feature of naval architecture I've ever seen on such a vessel.
Another picture.

One of the things that confuses me is that the aft sails don't have a boom, almost like they were flipped upside down. As for the raised part, yeah it's pretty weird. Some searching termed it as a Midcastle, though only a few ships used such a thing and usually for gunnery purposes.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the designers of this clipart didn't know (or particularly give a shit) about hull configurations or rigging, OP
The hull configuration is probably inspired by one of those modern big sailing yachts, which look kinda like a normal motor yacht with big sails on top.
If its supposed to be a historic ship i´d go with >>905813´s opinion.
It's basically a retarded gaff rigged schooner. I real boat wouldn't have multiple sails stacked on top of each other unless it was square rigged, and the sails would be cut in a way that makes sense.

Thanks for the input then, it was confusing the heck out of me but I guess it's probably just fabricated.
One last pic for the road.
Oh found one more. But yeah, thanks again.
