I actually cross very slow and on an angle as a "just in case" so I was going slow. And about unofficial servers, I want to play on Officials right now and when I have sailed myself out then I'll make my own lil server to mess about on.

It just destroyed itself, nothing in sight upon traveling into Lawless L13, coming from Freeport L12. Did anyone else experience this?

If it's a raft, what you'll want to do is rotate the sail as much to one side as you can, once the "Wind arrow" reaches the back side of the Boat UI on the top right of the screen, the wind should catch, and then after about 5 to 10 seconds you will have to rotate it as much as it can to the other direction. You will be Zig Zagging.. (Almost in an S shape) So if you are willing to keep adjusting sails, this is the way to go against the wind (on a raft). Bigger boats is the same basically too, but you might not have to zig zag as much depending on your sail set up. Happy sailing!
