== Regarding speed ==
It appears that the recent changes to wind speeds have caused a bit of confusion when it comes to the common question of how fast boats can travel. Maybe we should do some tables and try to reach a clear definition?
Personally, I've recorded speeds of up to 20.1 kph when sailing as a passenger in a corbita, with a north-eastern gale blowing. The exact same wind propelled me alone in my small sailboat at 18 kph, clearly contradicting the old opinion that the latter is the fastest sailing craft. How about the rest of you?

I highly doubt the max speed is 2 km/h (solo), as you said, with the wind in your back you go much faster. This rather looks like someone was "sailing" straight against the wind. Just do 'toggle stats', watch your speed and fine tune your heading until you reach your maximum speed. I have done 31.48km/h solo in a [[cog]] and a gale in the back.

I did 23 km/h solo with my corbita with a gale (Or strong wind, not sure) in my sails. Hope that helps.

My Corbita gets somewhere around 18 km/h with a strong wind behind it, and around 11 or so km/h when maneuvering across the wind (Not going into it, not going with it.)

24,60Km/h in solo with a gale

== Cargo hold ==
Cargo hold was measured with whole felled trees, loading 100 of them - [[User:KaiH|KaiH]] 18:26, 05. March (GMT+1)
== Body Strength needed ==
Well on the wiki article is written that 20BS is needed to drag it, I have 21.49 and it always says that it is too heavy to drag. Anyone knows?

:There's either something in the cargohold or you have too much weight in your inventory and/or wearing too much weight on your body. You must not carry more than about 10.43kg on you with 21.49 str.
Max drag weight = (Body Strength * 7 - Amount you're carrying) / 10
Max carrying weight = Body Strength * 7 - Weight of corbita / 10

cleaning up very old discussions.
