For new players in Sea of Thieves, they may not know how to control the sails in the game? So today the author has sorted out the sail control skills, and the specific methods are shared below.
The sail can be considered to have two "parameters": the degree of lowering of the sail and the angle of rotation of the sail, but they both serve the speed of the ship. The raising/lowering of the sail has the most obvious impact on the speed, and adjusting the sail angle to the downwind range (at this time the sail appears to be blown up with a roar) can further increase the speed of the boat.
The lifting and lowering of the sail is through a device shaped like an anvil. Lowering the sail is very fast, and raising the sail is very slow. The sail is rotated by a pulley behind the landing gear. Both take-off, landing and rotation can be completed by up to two people (because each device has one device on the left and one on the right). Each sail of a two-masted or multi-masted ship has its own landing and rotating device, and you must be familiar with their positions.
The captain of a ship with two masts or above is often unable to do it alone and must rely on the cooperation of other crew members. For example, if a multi-masted ship needs to drop anchor and make a sharp turn, it needs to turn on the full rudder while dropping anchor. This is obviously not something that can be done by one person. Therefore, remember to issue various commands using voice or the pirate chat wheel when you are with passers-by.
When landing on the island, it is recommended to lower the sails and approach slowly (especially places with rocks/shoals such as Shipwreck Bay, Crook's Hollow, and Death's Hideout). Of course, you can also consider setting the anchor directly with full sails, but this requires a certain amount of experience (and close cooperation on a large ship) to stop the ship without damage, otherwise the ship may have holes.
When a large ship lands on the island, most crew members will consider reefing the sails, because it will be more difficult to lift the anchor after setting it down. Basically, when you see the name of the island message broadcast, you can basically start the work of reefing.
打单桅骷髅船时也可以适当收帆，因为进入战斗后它们的速度不是很快，如果想一口气10~20炮直接击沉的话最好收点帆打(但不要放锚)，否则骷髅船很容易离开大炮射程。
Many players must know this: small boats are the fastest when going against the wind, and big boats are the fastest when going with the wind. Therefore, when a large ship is on a long journey, it can lower its full sail and adjust it to a downwind angle. If a small ship is chased by a large ship, it must remember to escape in the direction of the wind, otherwise it will soon be overtaken by the large ship with full sail.
However, when the two-masted and multi-masted ships are under full sail, the driving visibility will be very poor, so at this time, either send a person to navigate, or raise the sail that blocks the sight a little.
The above are the sail control skills in Sea of Thieves brought by the editor. I hope it can help everyone.
