Seems like all values are wrong compared to the real sizes. For example, the most common merchant ship in the game, the Liberty cargo in real life had the following characteristics, quote from wikipedia:

Displacement: 14,245 long tons (14,474 t)[1]
Length: 135 m (441 ft 6 in)
Beam: 17.3 m (56 ft 10.75 in)
Draft: 8.5 m (27 ft 9.25 in)
Speed: 11 to 11.5 knots (20 to 21 km/h)

Compare this with with the .cfg values:

MaxSpeed=10
Length=147
Width=18.1
Mast=24
Draft=5.8
Displacement=7000

Ofc, we all saw this ship running with 12-14kts, so the game takes the values from somewhere else that the sea folder. So.. this is a lost battle.
