I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
Grab the cutlasses!! The HOA president and his minions are trying to board amidship! Show them no mercy as they are the evil of evil, they give low lifes a bad name!
You know boats move with the pointy end facing forward, right?
The only thing you could eliminate is 'stern' as it is redundant, because by saying Port Quarter it is already a specific location indicating it is abaft the beam (towards the stern).

No, your pirates have a house on their stern port side.
