Sea and sailing

At sea, out of a fight: «Repair» (R) — the crew mend with planks and sailcloth. In port the yard mends everything for silver.

  1. The bars under the portrait: red is the hull, blue the crew, white the sails. When the hull or the sails drop, it is time to mend.

  2. «Repair» appears at the bottom when nothing is shooting at you (or press R). The crew mend as fast as their numbers allow, using planks for the hull and sailcloth for the sails; «Stop repair» stops. Under fire the work goes ten times slower.

  3. In port, «Shipyard» → «Repair» mends the hull, sails, rudder, guns and mast at once. Small ships pay less. Short of silver? The yard mends what you can pay for. A whole ship shows «Sound» on the button.
