Sea of Thieves: Sloop Sail Management in 5 Minutes

[@guywithatippmann]

As a life long sailor both the physics and terminology in this game makes me chuckle thanks for these guides man they help a ton!

[@zug2099]

we need man o wars

[@stefflus08]

I lack your humour. I really want to play a game like this, but this is completely unplayable to me, I'd have to be able to translate my real world intuition. That untacked squaresail turned around for all conditions makes my mood foul.

[@coldbrewbear3639]

​@@stefflus08it'll take less than 30 minutes to learn how to play the game

[@hellotoastedegg]

As a newbie I'm gonna enjoy these 5 min Fridays, I need all the help I can get 😁😁

[@Jasigner]

I figured out the game in about 3 hrs

[@SedrickD]

Important watch for solo sloopers!

[@Eveningstar101]

So now I know, tbh I could never figure out what you meant by cross wind across the bow and cross wind across the helm they were all side winds to me so Thank you, the visual really helped.

[@cmelft2463]

This has helped so much when using a sloop. didnt realise dummy sails was faster, was always trying to catch the wind side on. Cheers "Rob Raven"

[@Pepp3rPotts]

Amazing as always Rob and a HUGE help to us single players !

[@CrystalKStearns]

Always grateful for any help I can get when sailing on SoT and Rob Raven is excellent at it.

[@rosspowell763]

Great video! Explains sails and wind direction in a way everyone can understand!

[@Pathfindr]

Short and to the point. I love it!

[@hugostj]

Awesome breakdown :D I think its one of the best explaining how it works in SoT :D Can't wait to see the rest you have coming

[@TheSandPanther]

WHOOP WHOOP excited for this one!!

[@ratty4850]

Great tutorial for newbies & solo players

[@PolandDoge]

Thank you for also including the other ships, if you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles

[@toldsammy4203]

I'm a pretty seasoned player but this was still an awesome video to watch

[@Dungeoneer]

Thanks for the help :D

[@WildCard4919]

Amazing video Captain Raven, keep it up!

[@boryslavw2504]

My last three play sessions straight ive been attacked by a full galleon reaper. This is so helpful, thankyou if you see this.

[@Suna0133]

Such a great video to understand how to best use the sails on a sloop :D

[@LavaKingYT]

Amazing Video Rob! keep it up

[@ChrisssyP123]

Great Tips I really needed that!!!

[@september_rose]

Alot of helpful tips. Alot of stuff I didnt know to say I'm pirate legend 2 times over hahahaha

[@niemannator12]

This was really helpful! Would love some videos on how to fight Skeletons effectively if you have any tips

[@aperson3080]

Thank you for explaining this in a nice easy way. Very useful to know about the cross wind.

[@esp4himgaming458]

Excellent tips as always Rob!

[@CrystalKStearns]

Very well done!

[@dylancannon4618]

Excellent, concise tips!

[@WeathermanWill]

Thanks for the great info Rob. This is a great idea to do to help both new and old players to the game.

[@ToxicChimpGaming]

Oh my God a Slooooooooooooop!

[@xXSimplySammyXx]

I really did learn some new things!

[@GoBlueHTB]

For future reference, it’s full billow. Bellow is a loud noise, billow refers to gusts of wind.

[@metalcrow88]

Now I do not have to explain myself when playing with my nephews on this game about the sails. I will just send them this video. Thank you jac... Rob.

[@Unstopapple]

Dummy sails for anything that isn't full bellow. This means any amount of headwind requires dummy sails. tailwind, turn to full bellow until beam reach. (where its perfectly perpendicular to the ship.) Sloops win in head wind, galleons win in tail wind, brigs in cross wind.

[@granttoye5852]

Dummy sails=in irons. Basically pointing high enough into the wind that you wouldn't actually go anywhere, but still going forward, in lieu of physics.

[@Noble-qh6vf]

great video! keep it up you'll make it big in KZbin

[@MrsKatieAnn]

Very useful! Thanks!!

[@docterwolf7473]

this is really helpfull for new people

[@luugo86]

This has been incredibly helfpful! subscribed and looking forward to putting these principles to practice.

[@J4ckSparr0w224]

Hi there Rob aka Jack Sparrow. Oh sorry. Captain Jack Sparrow. Im also in here. Lol. I can finally say that i am right about the wind.

[@warrabbit8295]

I never realized that brigs were faster than all ships with cross wind. Thanks for tips!

[@wunderboi7368]

Hello Jack!

[@joeltaylor3189]

please make more of these, this one was great :)

[@PEDEPANOR1]

Amazing video! But i have one question, in a persuit with two sloops, one using cross wind against the helm and other using dummy sail which one is the faster?

[@VikingNZ]

Ahoy Jack!

[@RP-dy5mu]

One thing I don't understand, at that this video didn't cover, is if the win comes from the front+side, and when I should use dummy sails, does this necessarily mean I HAVE to go into the opposite direction of the wind? Or can I just align my sails so they are perpendicular to the wind's direction and continue sailing in the direction I was going? Because otherwise that changes my destination obviously so idk how useful this is for just normal movement

[@michaelvanvalkenburgh5263]

Great video! Look forward to more to come! Be well. -VanVizle

[@petitpanierdosier]

You didn't explain what to do with cross winds against the bow though except to avoid them. But what if you don't have a choice? Which angle should you go to with your sails?

[@Ivan-yz3cd]

did you found any answer to that question? xD i would only use this knowledge to escape other ships, just so you know :)

[@KPsmiley]

Such a lovely educational video :)

[@Ash-fd5yi]

Big ups!

[@skellykat5166]

Love the vid rob keep it up

[@DrPastah]

So tacking left and right into headwind doesn't work?

[@TheSapier]

You should try sailwind if you want sailing like sea of thieves but more complex

[@DinzeTV]

Hello there!

[@jog1s]

thanks i didint know this now i will not need to spend hours just sailing to islands

[@Tony-hu1iw]

Well made and informative. 😀

[@MatsJPB]

Great tutorials! (I hope most of the tipps are still relevant now 2 years later =D). Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[@foulgrog]

Bring these back as jack

[@Dubya907]

Well done video.

[@robertsteflik]

I'm here!

[@ninjaduchess]

great video! thanks for the info!

[@BeardedKitty]

But like, is the sloop faster with the sails directly against the wind or with the sail just facing the bow. I've heard both for what's faster.

[@RobRaven]

If you can't catch the wind and you being chased bud its best change direction and go into the wind and adjust for Dummy Sails as thats when your hardest to catch.

[@BeardedKitty]

@@RobRaven I usually like to stand my ground if I'm being chased but this is good to know. I hate going slow, lol

[@RobRaven]

@@BeardedKitty the dummy sails will only get you so far though. The use of islands and multiple rock formations and learning to weave through them will help massively too :)

[@Eanso-706]

So as a solo sloop player, keep it facing away from the wind at all times?

[@GrillerRohde]

No, if you can catch the wind do it, but if you can’t just put the sail straight forward.

[@Rambo2-501]

Well dang. I’m level 75 in all the emissaries, and just noticed I’m doing my cross-wind wrong on the sloop. 😂🎉😅

[@joeking9760]

compurr?

[@melissalavin7967]

Please make another tutorial

[@dragon5layer957]

Aye hello ther Cpt Jack Sparrow

[@clichehabitat8306]

believe it or not the brig is actually the fastest no matter what with the right sail set up at the time because of the speed that the brig gets from downward waves

[@belfastplayz2649]

I got 2 hours in game. And half of it was me being chased lmao. Finally I can actually get away

[@ccech3882]

I need to know how to sail a sloop :( I keep crashing

[@zug2099]

what are ya doin?

[@RedSiBaron]

Dummy sails should not be a thing in this game. it's not intuitive to how real sails work, and it doesn't translate well to the brig or galleon. The issue too is in game the sails fill with wind when sailing upwind when you turn them to the side. it's misleading.

[@RobRaven]

Aye! I hear ya. That's one of the reason I made this video :)

[@RedSiBaron]

@@RobRaven it's appreciated definitely

[@johjoh9270]

to be completely fair, real life sails are the exact opposite of intuitive, you go faster on a close reach than you do running (crosswind agains the bow is faster than full bellows) because of lift, what part of that is intuitive? XD

[@RedSiBaron]

@@johjoh9270 completely intuitive if you understand how sails work with the lift they generate. Then again, Ive been sailing since I was 6, so 32 years and I can trim a mean sail like second nature just by looking at its shape and behavior.

[@johjoh9270]

@@RedSiBaron "if you understand how sails work with lift" is not intuitive, I understand why it happens yes but you can't tell me lift is intuitive 😅

[@especiallycontent9616]

I hate to say it, but the brig is faster than the sloop, even against wind. It's been tested
