There's also the map which indicates how fast your ship goes, yet looks like it's not enough for most people, including you, to have the feeling they are actually sailing real fast.
Mate, don't lump me with whatever your talking about. I have zero problems determining how fast my speed is with what the game provides as indicators. It isn't difficult to figure out.
Little to no one thinks your idea is good. They have provided reasons as well as suggestions to make up for it. I am not trying to be rude, but every time someone tries to decipher what your talking about you swing it back with insults or passive aggressive comments. Face the reality, your idea isn't good.
So that's me insulting now by just answering to your own comment, maybe you should try to take responsability of your own comments or mere not commenting at all :

Their is so much open water here, having to take longer to get from island to island sounds really dull. It already feels like a crawl when their is no wind.

If anything an argument you could make instead of lowering top speed overall (Which no one wants), is slowing down ship acceleration. This way, you still extend that window of engagement. However, I still think the state of sailing is fine. Simply because that window that the crews trade cannonfire, can be extended through proper sail management/Ship angles. Good crews know how to capitalize already during these trades.
I already did actually :

If you insist I wouldn't mind devs to slower acceleration too anyway.
Yet that wouldn't be enough of a change on it's own to help changing the current meta

Is this argument still going on?
OP wants something - vast majority of responses seem to disagree with the reasoning, citing the ease of which the same thing is accomplished with raised sails. What do we get... lame responses based on our intelligence?? REALLY?
Glad I've been at home ill today and didn't see this sooner...
I will correct you here because this is totally wrong of a summary : this is actually most of you (some people expressed their support towards more realism) blatantly not understanding the reasonning (to the point I have to explain with many examples) but disaggreeing with the suggestion by principle only because you want ships to keep being lightning fast for pve purpose. Take responsability of your comments guys, bytheway nobody asked you to spam the same "opinion" other and other again without understanding the topic of this thread.
The ones disaggreeing made themselves clear despite me taking time to explain the concept many times, no need to spam, so just leave others able to read and comment.
Stop lobbying, thanks bye.

I don't know what boat speed has to do with the current meta. If you want boats to sink more through cannon fire and other damage, you need to reduce the effectiveness of the bucket as it removes tons of water per bucket load.
Whether the boats are faster or slower, any break in combat is going to allow the other ship to repair and empty all the water before you get another angle on them so boarding them is still going to be the best method because it stops them from doing those two things.
Any break in combat will allow the other ship to repair, yes, but skilled crews will react accordingly and position their ship for other salvos. This change would allow to fire canons for longer time and more frequently before one ship is far enough not to be shot, then chasing will be harder because slower speed allows less mistakes in navigation than the current high speed.
Changing bucket load would penalize small crews, meaning sloops as solo players, which is not a good idea imo compared to nerfing max speed as propably acceleration for even better results.
