From the artwork and images shown recently with the new trailer for Cursed Sails, it appears that the Crow's Nest for the brigantine will be on the shorter mast?? This renders the position only 50% effective because the larger mast behind will block the view from the nest. The Nest should always be at the highest point otherwise the position is not useful anymore. I am wondering if the images so far have a bug or artwork mistake because the Crow's Nest cannot logically function properly on the short of the two brigantine masts.
Brigantine Crow's Nest
@grif-0220 Yeah, I noticed this when they showed the first images of the Brigantine Silhouette when they announced the DLC's. The sail situation looks reversed from your typical Brigantine - which would have one squared sail at the rear and two up front. Of course, we don't have triangular sails which would also appear on a typical Brigantine, but still. I don't quite follow the reasoning behind this change in the layout of this type of ship.
Typically when my crew needs to use the crow's nest for a full 360-degree survey, we are stopped at an island with the sails up already. It looks like you'll still be able to see all the way around if the sails are up. Plus it won't take you half an hour to climb up there like it does on the galleon. XD
I'm curious to see what the below-deck layout looks like, though.

This is my general thought process. In the case the sails are down, hopefully enough people are on the boat to look where the nest blocks vision.
