The small square spritsail really helps you stay on course. it pulls the bow downwind, which is exactly what you want when your big gaff is trying to turn you upwind. Pulling your jib a bit tighter also helps.
58:00 is the wind really shifting? The telltale shows relative wind, as in the vector sum of your forward velocity and the wind velocity. As your velocity changes, the relative wind changes as well, so the indication of the telltale shifts. The wind direction is the same, just the wind you feel is different since you're not moving forward anymore. At least that's how it's supposed to work IRL. I have no idea if the game models it.

Personally I love the Bermuda video you posted. Id be more than happy to see more of it :) Im into age of sail games a lot.
I'll probably post more of it in the future. I was enjoying it, and it was a nice little break from sailing games.

TWO episode 6's?
Fixed it. I forgot to change the number on the title after copy and pasting.
Is this the dhow?
@@frontalwind no, this is the cog
@ ah looks like a good ship. Easy to manoeuvre
