Guide applicable to Uncharted Waters New Horizons (SNES or Genesis / Mega Drive).
Speed is a crucial factor for any adventurer seeking to traverse the vast oceans efficiently. I named the top three fastest ships in the game, considering their Power and Tacking attributes to estimate their speed. I'll start with the third fastest:
3. Atakabune
Tacking: 95
Power: 95
Type: Shallow Waters
Price: 14,500
Description: The Atakabune is a powerful warship originally built for Japanese warlords. Its exceptional tacking and near-maximum power make it one of the fastest ships in Uncharted Waters New Horizons. Whether you're engaging in combat or need to traverse shallow waters quickly, the Atakabune is an excellent choice for speed and maneuverability.
Bought / built in Japan
2. La Reale
Tacking: 95
Power: 100
Type: Deep Waters
Price: 40,000
Description: La Reale is a formidable galley designed for naval warfare but also excels as a trading vessel due to its speed. With near-perfect tacking and maximum power, it can outmaneuver and outrun many other ships on the open seas, making it the fastest ship in the game.
Can sometimes be found as a used ship in europe without any investment!
1. Kansen
Tacking: 100
Power: 100
Type: Shallow Waters
Price: 2,000
Description: The Kansen is a mid-sized ship primarily used for short-distance trading. With perfect tacking and power, it is incredibly fast and agile, making it ideal for quick missions and evading enemies in shallow waters.
Bought / built in Japan
Recommendations
Here are recommendations for the fastest ships suitable for each stage of the game: early, mid, and late.
Early Game
Recommended Ship: Light Galley
Tacking: 100
Power: 85
Type: Shallow Waters
Price: 1,400
Description: The Light Galley is an excellent choice for early-game adventurers. Its perfect tacking makes it highly maneuverable, and its good power allows for swift movement. While it's best suited for shallow waters, it's a great starting ship for exploring coastal regions and engaging in short-distance trading.
Mid Game
Recommended Ship: La Reale
Tacking: 95
Power: 100
Type: Deep Waters
Price: 40,000
Description: For late-game adventurers, La Reale is the ultimate choice. With near-perfect tacking and maximum power, it is the fastest ship in the game. La Reale is designed for naval warfare but also excels as a trading vessel due to its speed. Its ability to outmaneuver and outrun other ships makes it ideal for long voyages, high-stakes battles, and extensive trade routes.
Late Game
If you don't need to fight (or trade):
Recommended Ship: Kansen
Tacking: 100
Power: 100
Type: Shallow Waters
Price: 2,000
Description: The Kansen is a mid-sized ship primarily used for short-distance trading. With perfect tacking and power, it is incredibly fast and agile, making it ideal for quick missions and evading enemies in shallow waters.
If you do need to fight, you will need to stick a subpar ship like the full rigged ship or the venetian galleass.
