Post POTCO Speed Limit?

Ive been wondering , with all the new ship speed updates that came out,
what's the fastest you have seen any ship go?

For my Sloop of war I got up to 12 knots without using any sailing skills.
For my Frigate O'war I got a same 12 knots.
For my Galleon of War I got 10 knots to the gallon.

Any different for regular or light ships?

With full ram engaged, I've seen my lite sloop at 15 knots.

on a light sloop with windcatcher I went up to 12 without using full sail or ram speed.
With now points in windcatcher I only get up to 10. I'm not using windcatcher no more until they bring these speeds done. I want to be able to only use 1 sail and crawl across the ocean. I don't like to race across too fast cause it ends up getting me sunk.

I have full windcatcher. I'll use a light sloop even though there's no difference between sloops, everyone thinks its faster

normal max speed with my full windcatcher and light sloop is 12 knots

max speed with full sail is 17 knots with full windcatcher and light sloop

MAX SPEED IN POTCO is with light sloop, full windcatcher, and ramming speed: 21 KNOTS. It's amazing

This is the best way ( That I know of ) to get max speed for the longest distance.

1. Windcaster, Full sail, Ramming speed Rank 5

2. Light Sloop

3. Go to the max without using full sail or ramming speed.

4. Use full sail till half way through and then ramming speed.

Full sail to ramming speed gives ramming speed with even more knots!!!

I've been at 20 knots with a Light sloop while doing Ramming speed. With windcatcher maxed, i think thats the highest any ship can reach.
