I've not managed to find a copy of the first one for myself, given its rarity, but I have spotted the other two in a library and they were quite informative.

Brigand Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Also I found this text well written and interesting: http://www.cnrs-scrn.org/northern_mariner/vol13/tnm_13_4_29-39.pdf . The close hauled numbers confirm yours: 67.5° at best for square rigged ships. Also it's given 3° of leeway at best (up to 12° depending on the conditions). The best frigates could tack in their own lenght, and wear in four times'. Very interesting read, it is only 11 pages long so there is no excuse for not reading it. ~Brigand Update I also found the other part of this article: http://cnrs-scrn.org/northern_mariner/vol14/tnm_14_3_57-68.pdf Edited February 25, 2014 by Brigand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
