You have to get up speed then hoist the sails and make a sharp 90 degree turn
turn the sails the other way and drop them
repeat as needed to sail into the wind
I can out run them almost every time now but havnt managed to sink em YET
Update, I dont think you can stop the bad guys by shooting at them alone
Crashing into them works great though
Got them stopped and sailed all the way around the island took about an hour
@ Kilinich I too wonder what the reasoning is for limiting axle speeds????
It completely eliminates making actual size fast cars not to mention fast engines
the stupid flex in axles has always been a big gripe of mine too
@Henke103 Nice car
