Sailing is Windrose's identity. The ocean is not just empty space between islands; it is where you find fights, routes, storms, loot, and pressure.
Route Planning
Use short triangular routes early: leave base, scout one coastline, return before inventory or ship condition becomes a problem. Once you know how far you can push, expand into longer loops.
Positioning
Do not sail straight into every enemy ship. Try to control the angle before ship combat, and leave enough distance to disengage if repairs or supplies run low.
