Fastest Ship? Light Sloop?

[MacIronhawk]

The sloop is the fastest ship.
The galleon is the slowest and is made for cargo.
The frigate is in the middle. It's not the fastest but it's just right to me.

The War sloop is faster than the War frigate.

I'm still curious about the War Sloop v. the Light Sloop in terms of speed.

Gonna test this soon and post the result.

I play two pirates at the same time and I've raced them diff ways. I used to think the lite sloop was fastest but its not this week one of my war sloops would leave it behind?
Ive got many ships on my diff accts and 6 pirates that are mastered at sailing so ive tryed diff combos and i think they have changed lately?
On test a dev did tell me when you are leveling up the "build of the game" at that time sets your sailing? That made no sense to me, but if that was true then diff pirates made at diff times would have a diff in their skills?
Anyway on test i did sink "The Love Boat" ....LOL
We know that dev was a joker..

later.........ice
