Ability –  “Galley. As part of a move action, this ship may initiate a boarding party against a ship up to S away from her, without having to ram. The boarded ship may not use any boarding bonuses.

Flavor Text – “Equipped with boarding hooks and ramps, the Fire Djinn strikes with the speed of a sandstorm and the deadliness of a demon.”

It might just be me, but I think that the Barbary Corsairs, intended to be a powerful new faction, got the shaft.  Their ships are significantly weaker than Pirates, Spanish, English and the French.  Look at this one, sure it’s a 4 master, and a rare at that, but one of those cannons is virtually useless without another crew to give you at least a CHANCE to hit.  Oh, but you only get 3 cargo spots for crew.  How sucky is that?  No, this ship is not playable.
