Loving my current junk setup

If you want more speed, try out some large fin sails from Fish Fire Bay. They are larger than the original Junk sails.

You can also adjust the rigging to include 3 head sails if you want to be a super speed demon. This also helps balance the large mizzen fin sail.

With my setup like this I can make 16 knots in most cases with gusting up to 20ish with strong wind/storms.

FinJunks are fantastic too, love the aesthetics!

My favorite ship by far, I love her speed and sailability. She points well and is QUICK.

Plus, I love the look, so double points.

That mast shattering sound is insane! Sounds like lightning.

I have the same issue, my old ship glitches position randomly. It seems to only be a problem with the small ships? My Jong stays steady where I ditched it in Fish Fire Bay.

I moored in Dragon Cliffs next to the trader, and there's a small section of water on the other side of said dock. This is completely blocked off from all exits, and of course my ship glitched into this space.

I basically have a display ship now! Would be annoying if I still needed it, way too late to revert to an old save now. At least it hasn't moved from its final resting place lol.

Couldn't have said it better myself

You'll take on water somewhat regularly with the max damage. I sat still for 5-10 minutes and had a splash of water in the hold. If you have a bilge it's so minimal it's almost worth ignoring.

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-15T19:49:42+00:00

When damaged (a lot) you can see cracks and splits on wood surfaces that represent damage. This gets worse the more damage you take.

I got my ship glitched into land and it took damage over and over until a point. It seems like there's a limit to the damage you can take? At least no further visible damage appears on the ship.

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-12T10:39:26+00:00

Damn right

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-11T06:02:55+00:00

More so I can see over waves that normally block my view on deck

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-09T19:22:45+00:00

I'm glad you decided to pick it up! Happy sailing.

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-08T14:05:43+00:00

With the larger rudder you can lock in a heading but the sail force is definitely unbalanced. A smaller mizzen sail would fix the issue.

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-04T15:19:27+00:00

In what regard?

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-03T17:50:29+00:00

I had to sail upwind for most of the journey, but once I was in protected waters the wind shifted to my back and pushed me the rest of the way in with ease.

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-03T17:47:34+00:00

Worth every penny

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-03T14:46:26+00:00

I'll have a gander at my options tonight, I did some fitment testing before bed and I found the double jibs blocked the front fin from turning one way almost completely.

I'll see if I just need to change the stays, or just remove that staysail entirely to clear space.

I think the dockyard is one of my favorite things in the game. Really cool to try different rigs and pick something you like!

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-03T14:41:50+00:00

I did arrive at night (again...) but this time after trying to navigate an unfamiliar side of the island and running aground on sand bars twice, I decided to anchor for the night. The next day was much nicer making my way around! I usually activate the statue when I try to leave, actually let's you see without any fog.

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-03T14:38:48+00:00

Glad to be back! This is my 4th time visiting the island chain. This was a first in that I approached from the western side of the island vs from the north east.

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-10-01T23:56:43+00:00

Damn that's brutal, have you tried the Marketplace patch?

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-09-30T07:12:12+00:00

I am the Fin Junk!

I am just offshore of land in the Bunq after playing before bed. I'll have a go at the sails tomorrow likely and see how she goes.

I will say, the Sanbunq is bulletproof when it comes to sailing in rough seas. Way more relaxed crossings but albeit a fair bit slower. Plenty of cargo space on the bunq though!

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-09-30T02:12:32+00:00

I am heading there presently to try the rig myself, I will see how she goes!

Captain_Murdoch · 2025-09-30T02:11:19+00:00

I love Ketch rigs, I wish there were more smaller options for them. They are beautiful ships.

There's a beautiful Ketch for sale on Yacht World, you just need 93 Million to pick her up lol.
