With out a doubt the English ships were better made and they were lighter and moved through the water quicker. Spanish ships may have been more elaborate but they were more like clunkers and they did not move as easily through the water. Spanish ships were also easier to sink and they did not have as many weapons and the British ships.

Yes she did. Her English army technically won the Spanish Armada but they didn't really do much to them as it was the wind that defeated the Armada. The Armada had seen the English fire ships and had panicked and tried to flee but the wind had battered their ships and drowned most of the Spanish and any survivors that washed up in Scotland was killed.
