so using harpoons on a sloop never sticks with my intended target. meg, skelly ship, even a row boat the line always breaks. in contrast ive been harpooned several times and the line never gives way. one galleon harpooned me going the opposite direction which whipped it around and I continued to drag it it over a small island without it breaking.
is a sloop harpoon generally weaker or is there something I am missing on how to effectively use the harpoon?
