Turning in battle

[Captain A D Jones]

Could someone help me out as to why my ship won't turn in battle? I enter combat, set my sails, push #6 sailing and i just sit still. I can't make any turns at all and no matter how the wind blows i move nowhere. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? If so what am i doing wrong. Thank you all.

If you press #6 sailing the first thing you do, I believe that you turn sailing off? (move to crew away from working on the sails)

Try without pressing sailing.

To add to what Demsity stated, if the block is lit with crew allocated to the function then it will work. If the block is darkened and the number on the left is decreasing or at 0 then you have no crew allocated to that section. Section 6 (Sails) and 7 (Gunnery) should not be touched unless you need to move crew out of those sections for boarding.
