Sail by the wind
She answers the wind, the helm and the water. Set more canvas to run before it, take it in to claw upwind, and feel her heel and slow as she turns.
A ship of your own, a crew to command, and a sea that does not care.
Sail it alone or with your friends.

The game
A game of sail and shot
Brace puts you aboard a sailing warship and leaves the rest to the wind. Trim her to the breeze, read the weather, work the guns and keep your crew alive. Every sea is made fresh, with islands, ports and other ships about their own business.
Weather that means it
Storm cells drift across the sea with squalls, lightning and a swell that hides a ship of the line. Batten down, or run for a lee.
Sights a sailor tells of
Waterspouts walk the water, fog banks swallow the horizon at dawn, and some days the sea shows you something you will talk about for years.
Night watches
The stars stand where they should, so you can steer by them. Some nights bring the aurora, or a shooting star across the whole sky.
Guns and boarding
Broadsides with round shot and more, damage that floods and slows her, and a melee on the enemy's deck when you close.
A crew of your own
Make your captain, then watch your people go about the ship: at the guns, in the rigging and at the helm.
Ships to command
From a nimble sloop and a schooner to a brig, a frigate and a seventy-four, each with her own rig, guns and upgrades.
Sail in company
Add friends with a code, open your world to them and sail one sea together: in your ship's crew or each in your own.
