History

Brigs are one of the most versatile vessels in naval history, employed as merchant vessels, privateer ships and armed naval vessels. All brigs have two masts, a fore mast and a main mast. Therefore they are not true ships, which have three masts, though they are primarily "ship rigged" meaning "square rigged." Snow brigs have the mizzen sail attached to a small mast behind the main mast. A standard brig (e.g. the 'Lexington' Brig) the mizzen sail is attached directly to the main mast. This ship may also be identified by its hull design, which is termed a pink or pinque due to its narrow or pinched stern. This variant of a Snow Brig was modelled by FLS Ship User Content Committee member Michael O'Dwyer (aka Michiel Duijer) and named for his friend Phunix (aka Rutger van Hoorn).

Tactics

The Tri-shot Tactic: You must have one of each of the three kinds of shot in stock for this to work, this only works with the van Hoorn and other ships with bow and stern chasers. Load round shot into the bow chasers for approaching then load dismantling shot into the stern chasers. Load all broad side cannons with anti personnel shot. As you approach a target you fire off some round shot. Then come on in for a nice round or two of broadside shot and board the ship after reducing the ships crew to a manageable number. If problems arise, you flee and use the stern chasers loaded with dismantling shot to take down the sails of the following ship and get away.
