Mamen Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) I have weird impression that pirate rig refit doesnt work properly or I am missing something. For example if I use Spanish Rig refit speed is higher than nominal (with best wind) but with pirate rig refit I only expierince 3% speed penalty on main sails and with side or up wind there is really no difference (on surprise)... anyone tested this thing cause maybe I don't fully understand how staysails (JIB) work...

On square rigged vessels you will notice huge speed drop downwind, pirate refit will work best for fore and aft vessels like Lynx / Privateer, so the small pyrate hunting ships yea... but according to surprise wind profile... on side wind it has 100% of his speed but after placing pirate rig refit it behaves like with 3% penalty and without bonus (if bonus and penalty works equaly on 90 degrees then speed should be 100%) ... I will have to test it upwind more as well but this looks really weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember how extra staysails worked before wipe... but I think there was penalty to studding sails as well... and now it is not working like that at all...
