Thanks Swordy. I've seen that one already but it still doesn't show and speed differences between the speed and handling sails

[Fate (-{SoH}-)]

The comparison would be:
Weight sail: Useless only 1k extra weight for a large.....
"should be 6k for a large"

Speed sail:
Wind Coverage Pickup: Default,
Turning Enhancement: 75% normal,
Speed: 125%

Handling Sail:
Wind Coverage Pickup: 125%
Turning Enhancement 125%
Speed: Default

Then when it comes down to it in sizes it's about:
Smalls Strength: 100%,
Mediums Strength: Small * 2.5,
Larges Strength: Medium * 2.5.


Personaly i tend to use handling as turning and wind coverage are more important to me due to the amount of whales and undead i tend to run into.

My friends tend to split the sails to half handling and half speed.

Thanks Fate ! thats the kind of info I was looking for .. I really would like to see a Brig test with 3 Large speed vs 3 Large handling

you can over analyze it all you want. but its pretty simple. pick a starting point A, pick and ending Point B.

sloop, schooner, brig. my answer will be the same handling sails are a waste of space, the size of speed sail will be the biggest each ship can fit.

with that in mind, i'l beat you from A to B wind or no wind if you are using handling sails.
