The first grappling attempt damaged the English vessel, illustrating the risk of forcing clinker-built ships together. Archers suppressed Castilians preparing to drop rocks, while ladders overcame the height of their hull. Edward then captured the opposing ship, transferred his party and standards, and used it in place of his sinking vessel. His response shows how boarding doctrine treated the enemy ship not merely as a target but as an immediate replacement platform.
