The rule of thumb I formed is, at least with the dhow, the shallowest angle I can get is about 15-20°, beam reach 40-45° and the most 80-85° on a run in relation to the sail, everything else is either attempting to find the inbetween or simply being happy with going slower as to not complicate my life. It's not in any way precise, but following this at least I'm not stressing myself constantly looking over the sailing guide and touching stuff.

I don't know why I am watching this video because I am a sailor in real life, but it is a good video none the less Edit: Also spar is a term used for any beam on a ship/boat so the mast is a spar, the gaff(if there is one) is a spar, the boom(if there is one) is a spar and on a lateen the yard is a spar so you aren't wrong, but what you called a spar at the beginning is more specifically a yard

@Deadmode2 жыл бұрын
I don't plan on really doing many more videos unless people are really struggling with things. I made this purely because there wasn't any good tutorials out there for people trying this game out and I didn't want the game to miss out on players. If you want help on navigation, join the discord. The other folks there and myself would be more than happy to help!

@erumaaro60602 жыл бұрын
So the lateen sail behaves similar to a gaff sail (highest force at 45deg). what about the other boats/sails? would it make sense for the square sail to wear instead of tack (travel windward using jibes instead of tacks )?
@Deadmode2 жыл бұрын
Yes, wearing is going to be a simpler manoeuvre in the square-rigged ships but a skilfully executed tack will allow for less loss of seaway to windward. The squares need work in this game I think. The cog has too much weather helm and the brig is wholly unfinished with much work still needed in many areas, including her performance to windward which is barely even 10°. The junks seem to point a little higher than the dhows, in my experience, but I have not performed a direct comparison, so I could be mistaken. Either way, they perform very similarly.

what if the wind is coming from behind me? can i then have the sail in a 90 degree angle to the wind?
@Deadmode2 жыл бұрын
Yes, let the wind hit the sail square on when the wind is behind you, but go back to using an angle when the wind starts to come more from the beam (side) of the vessel.
@korrectmethod2 жыл бұрын
Is it normal for a sailboat to run with the sail pushing against the mast? Seems off. Shouldn't there be a way to always have it so its being blown away from the mast? Would thing only option be to do like a 270 degree turn to port?
@Deadmode2 жыл бұрын
For this kind of rig, yes.
@scaleworksRC2 жыл бұрын
Well, here I am after giving it a go. Left port without picking up any mission to just get to the next visible point of land. Found myself waking up at night facing the wind and dead stopped. I wonder if there is a reset by "abandoning ship" so to speak. It's a survival game, so I assume death resets the game? Edit: I tried the nose push and see it works here, so maybe there's still hope
@Deadmode2 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can push the nose although the effect has been heavily reduced since I made my videos. Also, you can now push upon the spars and sails to help them catch wind when you’re in irons. Good luck!

I have yet to start the game, i want to ask how to know wind direction? Is it by how much it fills up the sail?
@edwardtye41192 жыл бұрын
If you let the sail out until it flaps, it will be pointing into the wind, regardless of where the boat is pointing. If you let it all the way out and it's still full (not flapping), then you're dead downwind (running). A good rule of thumb for sail setting is let the sail out until it just starts flapping, then pull it in until it stops. That is roughly the most efficient place for the sail to be.
