    You could always have a generic straight card that would be played each turn to make up the scale difference. After all, it's the angle of the chosen turn card that's important. As an added strategic consideration, it could be played before or after the position of the chosen maneuver card.

    To address Jonas' comment, the generic straight could have 3 different lengths, making 3 sails faster.

    Thanks Dobbs. This is where my ignorance of realistic sailing and maneuvering gets in the way of progress. Some generic decks might be the way to go, as enlarging and printing existing decks gets pretty time consuming and expensive.
