As I mentioned per e-mail my solution proved to be effective at achieving its goal but it is quite drastic and that makes is somewhat blunt. I’m also not quite sure how realistic it is – it works very good for most of the sailing but ships currently get…[Read more]

arCharShip.MaxSpeedY = fTRResult * fCurrentSpeedZ/5;

…did the trick. YES! YES! YES!
The values will need some fine tuning I am sure but the main goal is reached – no more turning with the sails down or shot away or the wind right against you.

I will look at your solution too, Jeffrey.

I changed the line to this (with the division by 5 to prevent a huge turn rate boost):

fTRFromSpeed = (1.0 – (0.87 – MOD_SKILL_ENEMY_RATE*0.01) * (1.0 – Clampf(fCurrentSpeedZ / fShipSpeed))) * fCurrentSpeedZ / 5

But ships cans till turn with no sails up and 0 speed, rotating on the spot. What am I missing?
