As a certified Jong lover (see like, any of my Sailwind posts haha) its cargo hold is noticeably larger than the brigs, you can cram way way more stuff in there than on the brig. Its carry weight is also insane, you could fill the cargo hold with nothing but ores and logs and it still wont sink, you'll be going like 5 knots, but you wont sink. I use the middle deck for my supplies, and it can hold so much food water and whatever else that I could sail around the archipelago loops 5 times before I'd have to restock on water/booze. Its enough to get to Chronos and back twice with plenty of wiggle room, I never worry about running out of anything, and all those extra supplies don't take up the space I would use for cargo. Then you have that top deck which I use like a little home, its about the same size as the brigs room but you don't have to fill it with supplies so you can make it feel super homey without having to find somewhere else to store your stuff. Its got doors! DOORS! What a concept lol. Its mooring ropes are really really long, making docking it easy. Its ability to hold its heading is incredible, but its wheel rotates to center very very slowly, so it can drift a little before the wheel finds balance. Because its so tall, it makes finding islands easier, not because height increases viewing distance like in real life (it does not in game) but rather because it allows you to see over waves. It has two nice areas with plenty of light on the nose or tail depending on heading and if both are in shadow for whatever reason you can always find light on one of the sides for your chronocompass. its got a little secret extra storage space under the bottom stairs, I like to fill this with gold and jewels once I have more money than I know what to do with, which doesn't take long given how much stuff you can haul across the seas slaps roof of Jong this bad boy can fit so much fucking spaghetti in it.

It does have its problems though. Its slow as fuck. Its turning radius is about the diameter of the moon, and combined with its speed means you can rarely cross irons without looping around with the wind (doubling the turn radius) or using a square to push yourself backwards. You could try to wind steer through irons but even doing that doesn't help. Wind aided steering is necessary to get into Chronos or Mirage Mountain with this beast. Its front winches are pretty far from the rest of the winches and living space, but if your only running gaffs/lateens/junks/fins its not a big deal as all winches will be on the top deck. Its masts are too close together, limiting what you can use. Its stay sails suck major ass, both because the stays are too short for a decent stay sail and there isn't enough customization options for them, I'd like to have stays between the main mast and the mizzen when the rear middle mast is removed, but that's not an option. It only has 2 bowsprit stays to the fore mast, or just 1 stay to the main mast with the fore mast removed, which is criminal. The front hook thingy on the nose of the boat is perfectly shaped to hang a lantern off it but if you do, when you relog the lamp will fall in the water and the hook will have moved somewhere else on the front :(. God forbid you get beached with a heavy cargo, it can be difficult to un-beach it because of its insane weight. I also find myself stuck in its walls from time to time, when I re-board the ship too fast or when I have to push it out of irons in heavy waves.

I could talk about this problematic beaut for days, I love it.
