Oh, look at the pretty flowers on the sails! Rose petals on the decks!
They even named it after a rose. What have we here, a chick ship?

Well, all I can say is, "Don't underestimate it." High speed, four decent cannons, and a built-in reverse-captain spell "fighter" to me.
She'll make a good one, too. But sixteen points is too much for what you get here. WizKids apparently thinks the reverse-captain ability is worth a lot more than it really is, and El Rosal suffers for it. For the same point cost, I could get a better Spanish fighter, like La Tartessos (five 3-rank cannon and a built-in world-hater), and a Helmsman to give her equivalent speed.

This ship would be a good value for 12-13 points. Overpriced as she is, I have to lower her final grade.

Total rating: 2 / 5
Sumpbeast El Rosal

El Rosal is an average cost ship with a built in captain. Good range on her four 3L cannons and good speed with S+L. No links and below average cargo spacce. She's a handy ship during a sealed deck tourny but I think you can find a better deal with other ships. She is one of the faster ships in the set.
Definitely a gunship El Rosal garners a 3/5.
