 The Wind Indicator around your ship. Try to keep your ship pointed toward Green.
Wind This diagram shows the wind (blowing in the direction of the red arrow) and the terminology associated with positioning a ship in relation to the wind.
Azimuth This diagram shows how we calculate degrees. The Close Haul angle varies from 30 – 50° depending on the ship. We use a half-circle (0 – 180°) instead of a full circle (0 – 360°); e.g., perpendicular to the wind is always 90°. The wind direction is represented by the red arrow and by the Wind Indicator ring.
War Ship This is a typical wind diagram for a Warship; although, keep in mind that every ship has different percentages. The wind direction is represented by the red arrow and by the Wind Indicator ring. The percentages refer to Max Speed.
Scout Ship This is a typical wind diagram for a Scout Ship; although, keep in mind that every ship has different percentages. The wind direction is represented by the red arrow and by the Wind Indicator ring. The percentages refer to Max Speed.
