Speed meter

The speed meter on a ship shows how fast the ship is going. Performing the sailing or rigging puzzle increases the speed, but a large amount of bilge water limits how fast a ship can go. Performing navigation will add a bonus to speed provided by the sailing and rigging puzzles.

The meter displays a relative percentage of full speed for each ship class. Larger ships go slower than the smaller ones. The fastest ship is a sloop, and the slowest ship is a grand frigate.

On a sloop, when the speed meter is entirely yellow, it will take approximately 63 seconds to travel a diagonal league, and 86 seconds to travel a horizontal league.
