Master Sailing Techniques

  • SOT has been out quite a long time.
    Hundreds of ships set sail each day.

    Please share your best practise,
    Little nuggets that you’ve learned thats useful in terms of sailing and combat.

    Ill start...

    Resist temptation to full right or left wheel lock when turning.
    Turn most but not all of the way...then angle the sails.

    By time the sails are angled you will have completed the turn and already have angled sails making you more efficient.
    Valuable if you Solo brig

  • Rule #1: Don't drop the anchor.

  • @boomtownboss said in Master Sailing Techniques:

    Rule #1: Don't drop the anchor.

    Since server merges no longer need an anchor drop, throw this rule out.

    Always raise your anchor once at a full stop.

    If there's not a fort or fleet active, keep boards and balls in your pockets in case of Krakens
