With the van of Lord Nelson's squadron closing on the few remaining Danish ships, he sent in a boat under a flag of truce to start surrender nagotiations and put an end to the needless loss of any more Danish lives. To all intents and purposes the battle was now over.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

Now a few shots from the afternoon Pirates game where the pirates battle each other in order to capture the Spanish treasure ship aprehended earlier by Algerine Corsairs.

Struggling to regain helm control and with a sudden change in the wind direction the galleon is stranded on the rocks. Just at that moment Captain Patch arrives on the scene and deprives the crew of their treasure, as they make their escape in the ships longboat.

Satisfied with his success and without having to fire a single shot in anger Captain Patch makes good his escape whilst the three other pirate ships are either too damaged or too far away to even challenge this audacious escapade.

And here we see Captain Patch being awarded his prize for excelling in all the Sails games and winning the Admiral's Trophy for the second time in three years.
Well done Simon.
