Weatherly now makes you faster to windward. Each rank narrows the dead zone and points the sail's push toward the bow inside the arc it opens, so a fully carved card moves your best upwind heading from 52 degrees off the wind to about 36, roughly 71% faster. Dead upwind still stalls, so tacking is shallower rather than gone. It used to only narrow the zone, which did nothing you could feel: the game aims the sail's force sideways near the wind, so every heading the card opened was slower to windward than vanilla's own best.
