Ever wondered how close-quarters combat played out aboard a ship in the Age of Sail?

I'm sharing this video from my other channel, Linus' Napoleonic Shipyard, where I explore historical naval warfare through wargaming. In this episode, I dive into the mechanics of boarding actions, those brutal, chaotic moments when ships locked together and the fight turned hand-to-hand.

Why share it here on Särimner HEMA? Because naval boarding was essentially historical melee combat in extreme conditions. Understanding the tactics, weapons, and constraints faced by sailors gives us valuable perspective on how weapons like cutlasses, boarding pikes, and axes were actually used. The rules in the video are informed by historical sources and yes, there’s even HEMA clips included to bring the fight to life, where we try some tactics for breaches and naval boardings. It's a bit further in to the video.

A sparring game among many we play. One good hit and you are out. Double hit or counter blow, the fencer longest in steps out.
