On catching vomit: Drink enough grog and you'll puke.If you just go up one deck and splash it on the ground, it will just flow back to the bottom of the ship and annoy your crew when the ship sinks. Buckets are used to remove water or catch vomit.Use them when the enemy crew decides to poke them in yours. Yum!

The galleon is large and resilient, but requires a large crew and effective communication.A smart bilge rat and communicative group is essential for the smooth and deadly operation of one of the best mercenary ships in the game. Its long hull is easily damaged, having only the upper and lower deck. With maneuverability and strength falling in between that of the sloop and galleon. The brigantine is a mixed bag, and is well suited for crew sizes of 2-3.The same property also makes it vulnerable to holes in the middle deck, so make sure to fix those ASAP, unless you like waves putting water in your hold.

Sometimes sailing at top speed isn't the answer.
Obviously, to start moving again, you need to pull the anchor up.
One cool trick that can come in handy when maneuvering is a "hand-brake": Turn the steering wheel full left or right, then drop the anchor and watch the ship swerve.So be articulate and talk to the rest of the crew where they'd like to be heading as well, so that you can all work towards sailing in the same direction, regardless of who takes the helm.
