Be Kind to your Gunners

[Crimson Rose]

My brig Crimson Rose is usually closed to the public.This is mostly because I'm not sure that I'm a "gunner-friendly" helmsperson.

When I crew aboard other ships - especially the big ones - the ship often moves so that the target ship is almost steady in my sights. What's the best way to do that?

At the helm, I usually circle around a target ship with the rudder hard over, trying to keep it centered on one of my broadsides. I would like to be able to crew on my own ship to see if this is effective for the gunners or no.
