Round 9
The Queen Anne is AGAIN raked in the stern for 2 hits and fatigue from Corvette 5. Sloop 1 uses a seamanship action, yare, and its move to avoid a second ram. It attempts to throw grapples at corvette 1 and fails. The Dutch Corvette 1 shows the Sloop how to board and their expertise inflicts two fatigue on the sloop. The Revenge banks left hoping for a rake on the Dutch flagship but falls short. Still, his crew managed another 4 hits – 2 damage and 1 fatigue on the larger target

Sloop 2 gets a partial shot for 1 fatigue on a crit on the Fluyt. Sloop 3 AGAIN fails to shake the objective free of the shoals. Sloop 4 and 5 are denied targets as the Corvettes attempt to flee across the shoals. Corvette 2 attempts to get around the burning wreckage of sloop 2 but is forced to bump it again so as to not hit its own flagship with its stern– still no damage is taken.

Despite the leaking/burning carnage, no ships sink.
