The English sea dogs had smaller faster ships than those belonging to the Spanish Armada. They were able to maneuver them into better positions. Also, the English guns could fire from a longer distance. The sea dogs were also close enough to home ports, they could go back and restock their gunpowder and cannonballs. The Spanish Armada and the crew were already suffering from bad storms and countless deaths from diseases.
