Yeah It does feel like every time I set sail the wind shifts to blow in my face. I have to wonder if it’s intentional. Just yesterday I set sail the wind at my back. I had waited until it was. Then it 180ed out of nowhere.

I would say “Use the Moder Power” but it’s a mid/late game ability. Also not sure if needing it to have it to sail is the best design. Your best bet is to learn the points of sail. As you can sail 45 degrees into the wind and tac back and forth. Takes a bit longer but it gets you where you need to go.
