Jagdzeit Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Im sure there have been about a million topics like this, and i wouldnt ask if i could find an answer. The latest blog post is from march and after watching some youtube playthroughs I cant wait to get started. Besides the obvious in the title, I have a few additional questions.1. Is it possible to edit the rake of a ships mast and the displacement of cargo for better speed?2. Is it possible to swap out guns and other armaments on existing ships? I think turning the Constitution into a Glatton would be interesting.3. Are there going to be special edits one can perform in order to carry more sail, such as rigging hawsers to the mastheads in order to take additional strain?4. Are studdingsails, bonnets and drabblers riggable? I havent seen any in any videos ive watched, 1

SeamanStaines Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Puzzled with the meaning of "drabblers" and "studingsails" I looked it up on Google and came across this book 'Seamanship in the Age of Sail" by John Harland. It can be read online and is an amazing information source. Just for information. Thanks Jagzeit for inadvertently pointing me towards this source of information.

Studdingsails were pretty commonly used among men of war if im not mistaken, and Drabblers were hung from the Chains, or Bits of wood protruding from the gunwhales to attach studdingsail yards to.
