You don't really need a sailing model, if you think about it. just make a totally silent engine, with no visible propeller model. and instead of speed orders, make some sound edits, like a bell ringing and orders shouted to the men on the masts to unfurl the sails and whatnot. the silent engine will push your ship at whatever speed is appropriate. (like, 6 knots for the Victory) time compression=gold
You absolutely need a sailing model. You magically sail into the wind at 6 knots? No tacking, no wearing?

Yuck. Worse than useless.

I was SO interested in PotBS until it was clear they cared more about what the avatars' clothes were than sailing.

Shame, they have such pretty models.
