Ability: This ship can’t be shot at by ships within
S of her.
One-masted ships don't make good fighters; they die
too easily. You can make them more destructive by
adding a Musketeer, giving them a second cannon. But
this ship can carry only one crew, which would be a
Captain if you're going fighting. Is the Bosun's
Bane worth it?
Her ability will go a long way toward extending her
life span. She can be safe against nearly any ship,
just by running alongside of it, and shooting it as
she goes. One cannon can't do much, can it? If this
ship sails in company with something bigger, she
serves as an extra cannon for that ship - costlier
than a Musketeer, but she can support more than that
one ship.
Ten points is a fair price for a ship with this
ability. Another mast would make her a real
contender. With just one cannon, I can't see giving
her anything higher than an average score.

Bosun’s Bane
I have never liked one-masters and this one is no
exception. Bosun’s Bane is hard to hit (cannot be
shot at by ships within S), very fast (S+S+S) and
has an accurate punch (one 2S cannon). However, with
only one cargo space you will need to have a good
idea of how you want to use her before you add crew.
A captain is probably wasted on this ship, but you
might think of a firepot specialist for attacking
two-masted gold-runners. Problem is, if they ram you
the ship is derelict and not a bother to anyone.
Sure it wastes a turn for the gold-runner, but it
nets your opponent a mast and the 10 points cost for
the Bosun’s Bane. I love the ability but I hate this
ship. If you have a bigger collection you can find a
better use for the 10 points. In a sealed tournament
she would be worth playing as she’ll run circles
around the slower ships of her set. Bosun’s Bane
receives a 2/5.
