SCENARIO SET-UP
The action was fought under a fresh North-Easterly breeze, with a smooth sea. The Dutch fleet awaits action, close-hauled on the port tack with a cable's length between ships. The British are virtually running before the wind, and the differing sailing speeds of their ships are beginning to make themselves felt.
Action commences at 1000 yards range, just outside the effective range of the Dutch 32-pdrs.
