How This Guide Is Made
In this chapter
3.1

3.2
Manual Sailing
How to take direct control of the yards, staysails, sail state, and rudder to turn efficiently, tack through the wind, slow down, and recover from a stalled maneuver.
3.3
The Open World
How to plan and sail voyages across the persistent Mediterranean, identify traffic, manage encounters and cargo, and move safely between ports and battles.
