Apparent wind for damage?:  ↳ damage is affected by apparent wind gusts instead of true wind gusts
Enable wave resistance?: • waves reduce boat speed; higher waves slow boats more, and smaller boats are more affected

Waves affect celestial sights?:  ↳ waves reduce celestial sight accuracy; larger waves cause larger errors
