This is an ongoing discussion about 17th Century naval wargaming (really, 1620-1720). Part of what is offered are scenarios for games: orders-of-battle, ship lists, battle descriptions, and scenarios for Age of Sail II-Privateers Bounty (a sailing warfare computer simulation/game), suitable scaled for that environment.

The Dutch jacht Ruiter, taken by the English at Lowestoft
Ron van Maanen has the dimensions for the jacht Ruiter that was captured by the English at the Battle of Lowestoft. I do not have the captain's name along, but perhaps I can add that later. The Ruiter later served in the English navy as the flyboat Horseman. The Dutch dimensions were 95ft x 24-1/2ft x 10-1/2ft with a height between decks of 5-3/4ft. The Ruiter carried 18 guns and had a crew of between 60 and 65 men. This was a former East India company ship.
