Hi folks.

Just wanted to know if there are any known online resources with

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.

agreed.

The USS Winston Churchill shoucl have capped them and called it a day:
