Bring WINDCATCHER back please!

The thing is, there USED to be a mesurable difference with windcatcher. You could SEE other boats getting left in your dust. Not anymore.

Really?
Well I never paid attention to it but I don't think there's really a use for it.
I have rank two wind catcher and I think my speed is fine. Compared to light sloops i'm slow of course but for traveling time I like it.
I use full sail and ramming speed a lot to get to places faster anyways.

So you've NEVER measured it, yet say that your measurements (comparisons) don't show a difference...despite rock solid, accurate measurements from other people that demonstrate you are wrong. Brilliant.

No I haven't.
But weather or not it does work I don't think I really care.
Sorry but using full sail and ramming speed get me to where I need to be to any place fast enough.
I don't care about traveling time because I like sailing.
Isn't sailing supposed to be fun? I don't think measuring time would make a difference because it's up to the devs to fix this BUG or PROBLEM.
