Leeway and Close haul


Minutemen_Chaplain

Question

Hello,

Starting to use full manual sails and have two questions.

- Is leeway planned for development ? It doesn't seem to have any effect.

- I am sailing the Brig and she seems to handle with no major problem beyond the normal envelope of 45º into the wind for square rigs. Is this intended or can we expect a change ?

Thanks for the time you take to answer the questions.

Last I heard leeway was under serious consideration.

 

Windward performance is exaggerated for gameplay reasons. Square sails keep drawing beyond the point they would in real life, and according to the true wind instead of apparent wind. And the square riggers' fore-and-aft canvas allows them to make headway to windward, unlike a real ship.
