Breaking the masts of flaggies

[Rose Darkpaine]

I try to hit the masts when Im working with a flag. After I have it crippled... I grapple it and then shoot the masts down (if I didnt get them in the first place) and shoot the guys on the deck as the pop up. I will do this until the clock is ticking too close to "0". The more guys I can shoot with my cannon before boarding.. the better! This is especially important when I board the Man O' Wars alone.

I've never seen more than one guy on a ship before actually hitting the "board" button.
