Is this a viable skill?

Is this skill any good on a MNG? Assuming that you can actually reach r10 management -_-"

Waste of ship skill slot.

spare sail does the job just fine

hmm the description also says reduce damage to sails...so maybe with that you can equip good sails on nordic galeon and dont care about their dura loss wich will be lowered a bit...needs some testing tough....

Also helps compensate for MNG's slow speed when you'll have non-damaged sails more often - as in, you can't always prioritize fixing sails in the heat of battle but if it does it automatically you'll have full sails more often :)

Another possibily is that instead of reducing dura loss which shipwright's quarters might do this skill might help prevent sail damage (and when damaged it auto-fix)

Pretty much a worthless skill. By the time you reach r10 management you should already have the General Check college skill which causes sails and rudders to be repaired when you use the Repair skill (along with restoring lost dura ofc [not max dura mind you]).

I tested this. Automate sail repair only works OUTSIDE battle. In battle, it does make my sails so much harder to get ripped off, eg.sail damage status. It does not seem to prevent loss of sail durability. Pretty weak skill considering rank 10 management as requirement.

I also tested this, albeit inadvertently. I was attacked before I could switch to my aide's battle ship, the ship I was in was a modified indiaman that came out of ticket with this skill. before I could get out of the ring I noticed a message that said my sails were automatically repaired, so it _can_ happen inside the battle ring, but I have absolutely no idea how frequently that happens.

R10 management skill? Wow

Pretty useless skill, considering you can repair both sails and rudder with General Check oxford skill, that skill is so good that make items suchs as spare sail, spare ruder useless.

How much is reduced or how often is prevented sail damage? Anyway, I think it's useless, a waste of skill slot.

Yarr, well looking at previous comments this was user underrated. I built a in game Heavy Assault Frigate to toy around with, but I noticed in battle with certain NPC I would get ripped sails like every shot they pew pew at me. well after I changed my ship skill to this skill it helped quiet a bit. Cheers to those that agree with me and still like Toying around with a old toybox full of in game ships.
