Which is the best word for describing a ship in an informal context? The ship is small but... - maneuverable - agile - nimble - quick (in this case, does it come across that not only is the ship fast but also manageable?) Or suggest your own option.

Hi Ivan, Perhaps you should think about the phrasing of the sentence. Naturally, a small ship would be manoeuvrable, agile, nimble and quick. Therefore; 'The ship is small and nimble/agile/quick' would be better, rather than using 'but'. All of the describing words you chose are appropriate to describe the ship, but I would consider not using 'quick', and using fast instead. I hope this helps, Tom
