Hodo 147 Posted January 5, 2019 In real life you would point your sails into the wind and it would push you backwards. But you cant do that in this game because of the stupid 30% into the wind buff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddo 4 Posted January 6, 2019 Close your sails, come to a full stop with `S`. Then press and hold `S` again to SLOWLY move backwards. it might not look like its moving at first but it will. I signed up to the forums just to answer your question.. aint i nice lol :P 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pabloski 1 Posted January 6, 2019 i am stucked in a narrow bay (V form like) if I turn my schooner to the right or to the left it gets blocked, cannot turn completely. The "S" strategy doesnt work, the boat doesnt move any milimetter.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw your post, jumped on a spare raft I have, ran it up next to a ship yard and couldn't reverse it. It does not work. Worked perfectly in Ark, but this isn't Ark.

Traven Guthrie 13 Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) YES this DOES work. wont work with a raft because there is no wheel. i just went into my docked brig, got on wheel and raised anchor then pressed s. ship started moving backwards noticeably right away! You can even inch forward without having to open sails if you hold w. Edited January 6, 2019 by Traven Guthrie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "S" strategy doesnt work, the boat doesnt move any milimetter.... is your ship bottoming out? unless you see a good half meter of clearance between the keel and the sea floor, your ship will get stuck. try to turn and inch it out where the sea floor slopes down.

Thanks for the tip and sorry for the confusion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ye the bottom is lokking tthe sea. The vay is pretty deep, but is so narrow... i think the boat is not stucked in any edge, so i dont understannd why i cannot reverse it.
