Need Help Flying Dutchman - very weak sails

[BongMan]

Ahoy friends.

I have an annoying issue with the Flying Dutchman. It's sails are ridiculously weak. The main mast goes down after literally 3-4 shots from even the weak ship like lugger. Should it be that way? Is there any way to fix it?

Thank you and regards.

Should it be that way?

It does sound really weird, but I'm not familiar with CoAS, so can't give you any useful answer.

So instead, I've relayed the question to the people on our Discord server.
Maybe somebody there has a clue?

Anders from the Discord (aka @racket298 here) says this:

From my own personal experience the larger ships, with their larger sails, tend to be more exposed to chain shots and regular shots ripping into it quite easily.

So I guess the answer to his question is - it is what it is

I'm assuming when he says the 'main mast goes down' he means the sail hp, don't think COAS has composite masts like TEHO does
