    Default Tweaked Sailing Angles

    New Ship Base Cards.pdf

    It has always bugged me that SoG square riggers could go to weather better than my modern (50 year old) fore and aft rigged sloop. With the help of "Seamanship in the Age of Sail", I developed base cards more representative of the historic ships. These are still not entirely realistic, but after a play-test with a 3rd rate, I had to tweak them favorably (beating to weather was painful - in this format a 1st rate now goes to weather like a 3rd rate in my original version).

    The listed SGN 107 card is for my bomb ketch, not regular sloops of war.

    Yet to come are bases for schooners, brigantines, sloops of war, Constitution, Victory, and SGN 109 and 110.
