PS
Ive posted this in the Zone before, but if you're interested in the intricate science of square rigger battle tactics, I suggest Chapter 6 of CS Forester's
"Hornblower and the Hotspur". I think you'll agree that even though the details are very different, the mental gymnastics of both fighter pilot and frigate Captain have a lot in common.
Here's the link to a pdf of the book, scroll down to Chapter Six. It's the best piece of nautical prose I've ever read, and worth reading even if you don't give a fig about 18th century naval warfare.
