If you ask over is rec.boats.sailing, you'll probably find some live
discussion about them. a couple or three years ago, I'd say, there
were some people tha were aproached by latter-day pirates, and fended
themselves with shotguns. Not sure though.

But a sail ship cald "Gandolf the Green" comes to mind....

I would prefer just killing them outright.

As in an RPG smack dab in the middle of the boat.

Leave the survivors to the sharks.
