I recently bought the tabletop rules "Fire as she bears" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-wb3Akqqz4 Besides trying them out on tabletop simulator I also thought about buying some small 1:1200 models to play on a smaller table. Since I now live in the Netherlands I thought the time of the anglo dutch sea wars could be interesting. For this, I would need to adjust the ship stats and some other general rules. I would be happy if some of you could help me out with it. I put the main things I need to change into some questions:

1. Were the galleons of the 1650s slower and weaker than the SOL of the late 18th century? And by how much. (In the rules ships have movement rates depending on the wind, on top of that they get boni by having top gallant etc. On top of that their hull strength and firepower is also represented by different stats.)
2. How common were boarding actions during the 17th century? Were they only done at the end of a battle? (In the rules boarding actions are very rare and only done when one fleet already dominates the other fleet)
3. How did the crew quality of western navies change between the anglo dutch wars and the Napoleonic area? (In the rules the sats for a ship hull also represents the crew ability, therefore, the British have higher stats for "equal" ships compared to other navies)

PS if there are any other FASB players I would be happy to play some rounds with TTS
