Yggdrasil, in Norse mythology, is an immense tree that sits in the center of the cosmos. A one-masted ship is an odd choice to bear that name, especially a rather lackluster one.

Her cannon is good, but even doubled, it still isn't that much. Speed and cargo are low; you're pretty much limited to the basics of Captain and Helmsman for crew. She can serve as a support fighter to bigger ships, but one hit (or one ram) and she's done. 12 points is low for a longship, but high for one mast. One point more would buy you the Hlidskjalf, with an average cannon, a much more useful ability, and no need for a Helmsman.

Playing an all-Viking fleet is a hard way to win anyway, and all the other factions have support fighters that are better or cost less, or both. If you need a Viking crew killer, use the Huginn, a much better fighter that slays a crew when she rams. I can't recommend the Yggdrasil for very much.
