Collingwood orders his division to hoist topgallants to increase speed, after which a 2d6 roll of 11 at the end of the turn increases the wind speed.
5:30–6:45
Steve and Greg describe how movement distance is cross-referenced on a sailing chart according to wind speed and ship heading relative to the wind.
5:40–6:24
Greg and Miles criticize Fighting Sail for removing wind restrictions and making heavy ships of the line just as maneuverable as frigates.

Sailing freighters can only move downwind or across the wind.
Civilian freighters are always unformed and sail away from the wind at 2Avd inches, or perpendicular to it at 1Avd. Oared warships ignore wind, except that weather events force manoeuvre tests.
Civilian freighters can only sail away from the wind, moving 2Avd”, or perpendicular to it – in this case they only move 1Avd”.
Maximum and minimum moves in squares depend on heading relative to the wind and its strength.
A diagram gives max (full sail) and min (fighting sail) squares for each point of sailing in Fresh winds. Strong winds: -1 close hauled, +1 sailing large; Light winds: -1 close hauled and large, -2 on the quarter and before the wind. Ships may only cross the wind by tacking or wearing; British have the weather gauge in the starter scenario.
Strong Winds = -1 (Close Hauled), +1 sailing Large, no change on other headings. Light Winds = -1 (Close Hauled and sailing Large), -2 (on the Quarter and Before the Wind).
