Common Sails

Common Sails is a baseline sails design in Windrose, applied at a player-built Wharf to set a ship's canvas to plain off-white linen with visible patches. It is the default sails design that Ships fly when no other design has been added through Ship Customization.
Even with all the patches, they still catch the wind just fine.
Sail to a Wharf, dock the ship, and open Manage Ship, then Customization, then Sails. Common Sails appears in the option list by default for every character; no style book is required to use it.
Common Sails has no mechanical effect on speed, manoeuvrability, or sail health. Every sails design in Windrose is purely cosmetic, so the choice is about appearance and the visual signal a ship sends to other crews at sea rather than any sailing advantage. See Wind and Sailing for the mechanics that actually drive ship speed.
Common Sails is the entry in the basic sail-appearance set. The other plain canvas designs sit alongside it as unlockable cosmetics; all are stat-neutral.

Common Sails is the look every ship starts with, so swapping to Old Sails, Fair Sails, or Excellent Sails is a pure style choice with no trade-off in performance. Use the Wharf customization menu to preview each before committing.
