Cinematic movement.  The Sunday morning game didn't adjust for wind 
direction, which is extremely odd for a sailing game but of course 
simplifies things quite a lot.  All weapons had limited arcs fired out to 
12", so essentially B1's with 1 or 2 arc coverage.  No fire controls needed. 
I don't recall quite how the damage worked--it was Sunday morning :-)

I would say that your ship should have a base speed--let's say you're a 
frigate, speed 6. If the wind is from direction 12, then your max speed 
would vary by facing, thus:
1, 11, 12: in irons, speed 0
2, 10: close hauled, speed 3
3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9: broad reach, speed 8
6: running, speed 6
Or something like that.

If you want a really accurate game for this, you should get Close Action (by 
Mark Campbell). If you want more of a fast play game, you might look at 
Flying Colors.
(Using Close Action,  we had 60 players do Trafagar and took from about 
10am-9pm; I gather that with Flying Colors, you can do it with two players 
in a day).
