| SAILING Sailing These parameters determine how your ship sails. Max Speed: Maximum Speed SHIPHow fast your ship can move in battles. Improving battle speed does not improve Open Sea speed. Acceleration: Acceleration Determines how fast the ship gains speed. Deceleration: Deceleration Determines how fast the ship loses speed. Lower values are better if you want to maintain speed, higher values are better if you want to stop quickly. Turning (Fast): Fast Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at maximum speed. Turning (Slow): Slow Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second.

The higher the value, the faster the ship reaches its maximum turn rate. Turning Decel: Min Turning Deceleration Ships gradually suffer less deceleration as they turn. This shows a minimum amount of deceleration a ship has when turning. Lower numbers (relative to other acceleration stats) are better.

General
An 8-gun, combat capable merchant vessel with good overall sailing performance.
History
The 'Lyon' Hoy was built in 1709 and was wrecked in 1752. A 'hoy' is a type of small, shallow draft merchant vessel used as a lighter or coastal trader by the English and the Dutch. The term 'hoy' refers to her single mast rig, similar to that of the 'Hiorten' Galeas. This ship was modelled by FLS User Content Ship Committee member Kriswood.
Tactics
This ship is a logical upgrade for the low level Freetrader from the 'Otter' Skuda (Fallback) one starts out with. While the free 'Renard' Chasse-Maree that one earns from the Economy Tutorial is a faster ship the 'Lyon' Hoy carries more and outguns the Renard. In fact it is the equal in guns to the 'Bermuda' Sloop.
Comparable Ships
'Otter' Skuda for capacity and performance.
Distinguishing Characteristics
A fore-and-aft rigged small merchantman.
