I may be the only one impacted by the removal of the "Windcatcher applying twice" bug, but it's still quite bothersome.
I have a Frigate with the maxed Storm Chaser upgrade, and before the update, it reached a max speed of 17-18 knots with maxed Windcatcher and two sailing items that boost Windcatcher by +1 and +2, without Full Sail or Ramming Speed.
After the update, however, it now reaches a maximum of 13 knots with the same Windcatcher skill upgrade and the sailing item that boosts Windcatcher by +2.
I find it incredibly annoying, in my opinion, because it's now like I'm sailing a quick-turning, but incredibly fragile tank, rather than a speedy bolt of lightning (granted, I really only use said ship to get to any wild islands, but still).
It also impacted my already slow Copperhead War Sloop, grinding it from 13 knots to 11.
Obviously, my War Galleon was hit the second-hardest (before my Frigate and after my War Sloop), as it now goes 10 knots instead of 13 (I could care less about my War Frigate's speed since I mostly use it for show).
It's incredibly painful dealing with such slow speeds, so I'm suggesting that the Windcatcher skill be buffed slightly, like adding 8% more speed to a ship instead of 5%, so the maximum percentage increase would be 36% without sailing items, and 48% with a Windcatcher boost of +3 on a sailing item (if there is one that boosts it to that degree), so it would still be slower than the pre-bug removal, but faster than the current one.
I've included screenshots, too.
The first two are after the bug removal, and the two last ones are before it was removed.
