Here is a Bligh's eye view of Sails from The World Championships.
17069
Three British Liners block the narrows as the two French 74s attempt to break through.
17070
Close up and personal. My Commodore goes aboard the British Admirals 74.
17071
Captain Blighzon scrapes past into the open water.
17072
Whilst my Commodore takes all the flack.
17073
And eventually goes down gloriously.
17074
It is now three to one but the British need to come about.
17075
A serious tactical discussion ensues.
17076
With many flag hoists.
17077
None of the British notice Cyril the Squirrel making off with their supply's of Toblerone.
17078
Meanwhile the British Squadron tries to come about in the narrows as I make off in the distance.
17079
One 74 manages to run aground.
That makes it two to one.
My damage is not looking too bad, so I come about and try to make a run for home down the far side of the island.
17081
Unluckily for me one 74 manages to get out of Irons and sails towards my ship.
17082
Just before I can make the Island he gets across my stern an delivers a raking broadside, forcing me to strike.
How unlucky is that!
Blighzon.
