If yer be interested in the weather guage then forget about arcade sailing, matey. The much more realistic sailing model in the build is what yer be after. Allows you to capitalise on any tactical advantages of the weather guage, depending on the different sailing characteristics of each ship.

Try it out, matey. See you on yhe high seas. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />

The wind direction can be seen in the map/compass thingey in the upper right corner of the screen.
