2/6/18 update:
Hello all, reporting in.. the newborn is over 2 weeks old now and doing well.

The game status: awesomeness 10/10 :)
The real-time sailing physics are shaping up nicely. Since my last update i have modeled a rudder. Now the ship is a bear to handle at slow speeds due to the low rudder forces, must use the sails to maneuver.

I also am beefing up the sails animation so the captain can tell when his sails are filled, luffing, or aback.

(Apologies for phone video of my screen but it’s all I have to work with at the moment)

Here is a quick demo of luffing:

Here is a tack but not by the books as I haven’t rigged up independent yard rotation. The corrrect way would be to first rotate main and mizzen on the new tack first. There is a small known graphics glitch but I will crush it at lunch time during my work break.
