Utilising your better handling and the calm water around islands is the best way to lose a galleon. I've never believed the hype about sloops being faster into the wind. Seen too much evidence to the contrary.
Galleons still faster against the wind?
@daveyjay1984 I've out sailed lots of ships and I used to believe you could use sailing against the wind to lose one, but after some recent experiences I can no longer support that.
I'm going to quit playing for a while as right now it's more frustration than anything playing 2 man sloop.
