    Thinking such an approach would probably be six boxes or less per ship (middle box each row marked as a divider), probably gunnery of 1-1-1 tops to 0-1-0, maybe 1 Musketry and 1-2 Crew Actions.

    Something like, (this is a representational example not a serious Stat Committee proposal)
    HMS Sir Sidney Smith Bur: 2 Veer: 7 X HMS Lord Beresford Bur: 2 Veer: 7
    12-gun lake schooner Box 1 2 3 4 5 6 X 12-gun lake schooner Box 1 2 3 4 5 6
    Gun 1-1-1 1-1-1 0-1-1 0-1-0 0-1-0 none X Gun 1-1-1 1-1-1 0-1-1 0-1-0 0-1-0 none
    Crew 2 2 1 1 1 1 X Crew 2 2 1 1 1 1
    Musketry 1 1 1 1 1 1 X Musketry 1 1 1 1 1 1

    Thinking is, damage gets applied to whichever ship on the base (one top left, other bottom right, or top right/bottom left, whichever) is closer to the firing ship. These guys would only fire at B-range--high maneuverability, middling speed, low firepower, broader fire arcs, possible immunity or significant reduction of grounding in Shoals, subject to Weather damage from wind alone unlike bigger ships, basically shallow-water specialists otherwise only useful for Zerg Rushing.

    Fire arc notes: a Top Left ship would have its starboard stern quarter blocked for firing until the Bottom Right ship is destroyed but be able to shoot in any other direction; similarly the Bottom Right ship would be unable to fire to Port Bow quarter.
