There might be a vessel which fits these stats somewhere. But it's not a typical Age of Sail pirate vessel, since those needed to be relatively fast and handy.

If I recall correctly, Bill Stoddard said that he designed the vehicles under VE for 3rd edition, then converted to 4E with corrections for historical data. If we assume that the acceleration of .03 is an errata, and assume that it's an errata because Bill miscalculated the Aquatic Motive Thrust, and assume I'm remembering algebra correctly, the corrected top speed would be 3*(cube root of 10), or move 6.
Note the three "assumes" in there.
