Wind hacks? ship in front is getting a massive amount of diistance while sailing into the wind with sails flat ?

You are actually at a slight disadvantage since your sail is pointed to the right while the wind is going to the left. Turn your sail and youll get some speed!

but it wasnt catching at all

This I think, for the reason because his sail (even though pointing forwards) is half correct compared to your sails which are pointing all the way to the right, is completely wrong with the wind (even going towards it) going slightly right to left?

If you follow what I mean by that but Im speculating, is that how the physics work on situations like that?

Edit: grammar
Edit2: grammar again

edit 3: or maybe when you are going into the wind, if you wasnt catching at all, the sails have no effect and is set to a default speed

Edit4: FML

It's actually a proven fact that every player that performs better than you is hacking. So yes, this is obviously wind hacks.

how are they performing better though?

they're sailing into the wind

turning all over the place

never adjusting their sails

they should be dead in water not losing us by 8 miles and counting

so explain how a ship that doesnt adjust sails goes faster than a ship that does?

its also a sloop vs sloop

Galleon should be slower than a sloop heading into the wind always.

Galleon corrects this when going with the wind, as the 2 additional masts allow for more speed.
