All at sea with the Post Captain

Post Captain
I have been itching to try an Age of Sail game for a couple of years now. Arguable it can one of the most complex games you can play since you are not only playing against an opponent actively out to ruin your day you also must consider the environment which is oblivious to your existence.  To make is slightly more complicated I was looking for a relatively low intensity game ie I did not want to re-fight Trafalgar nor did I not want to be in charge of the flagship of the fleet. I am more interested in the frigates and lower rating ships that are more likely to see action and possible link up to a Sharp Practice or Maurice game.
