Balancing fix?

Must be something wrong with my program.

Could not get Morgan's large frigate to sail backwards. Always went a little bit forward. Maybe the Navigator??

If it helps, Swash, 34 poor health, about to retire rich.

Guess I will have to try again in a new game with a trade tub before getting set up.

Try it with some sail damage, low crew, and strong wind.

Bah. Even at Apprentice level with navigation skill and a royal sloop I was driven backwards when facing the wind. Reefing the sails would lead to a standstill or it would push me slightly south. No such problems with the war canoe though. It would just catapult forward no matter what! All this in battle mode. In sailing mode I'd crawl forward even if facing the wind, no matter what ship was my flagship.
