All you do is when your ship needs a fixin walk up to the fix spot and press shift as always but as soon as he starts to hammer away switch to a weapon instead of escape and the spot will stay blue and your free to do the next one which will speed up fixing rate!!!! "BELIEVE IT"!!!!! ITS TRUE.
I found this glitch the first hour that privateering started so your all welcome i let the cat out instead of keeping this a secret.
just dont hit esc at all while its running and most of the time you can man a cannon while its fixing but dont grab the wheel either or it stops unless you need to get out of dodge!!!!!
THE CAPT MAKES IT HAPEN

I just tried this, and yeah, it works as described. But, this is not the glitch I've witnessed elsewhere. Sometimes, people can sail while repairing. They can be sustaining damage while still repairing. THOSE are the glitches that sway the game unfairly. The "glitch" you describe, still has to be done in the safety of a hiding spot, with the boat not only stationary, but with the wheel dangerously unmanned. Thanks. It is cute. But not the treacherous thing I see all too often.
Of course, if there is some legitimate circumstance where you actually should be able to sail and repair at the same time, big-D really should have announced it and described it. Maybe have a training quest for it. But I think a lot of people would be happier if the whole "repairs" thing were just removed - at least for SvS. I mean, what is the point? You just come back, at your base, anyhow. In regular game play, trying to finish off quests, is when you really need the ability to repair.
