–Warly, on the Feather Lite Sail

Sails are craftable Nautical items introduced in Don't Starve: Shipwrecked. Their purpose is to give a speed bonus to Boats and keep players' hands free while sailing, allowing them to hold items like Tools, Weapons, and hand-held Light sources. The sails lose durability over time when moving on water, but using a Sewing Kit on any variety of Sail repairs 100% of its durability. The Trawl Net takes the place of a sail, but functions differently. Boats without equipment slots cannot have sails (Log Raft, Raft, and Surfboard).

Thatch Sail

The Thatch Sail gives a small speed bonus to the player while on a Boat. Compared to other sails, it has the lowest speed boost a 20% and lowest durability. However, it can be crafted at a Science Machine (unlike the Snakeskin Sail and Cloth Sail, which require an Alchemy Engine), and is relatively inexpensive compared to the others. However, once an Alchemy Engine is available it is desirable to move on to the other choices available.

Cloth Sail

The Cloth Sail gives a moderate speed bonus to the player while on a Boat. Compared to the other sails, it offers a relatively high speed boost of 30% and has middling durability. It is made out of ingredients that are easy to acquire and its overall cost is relatively cheap. However, it doesn't have the high speed of the Feather Lite Sail or the high durability of the Snakeskin Sail. Simply put, it is a jack of all trades but master of none.

Snakeskin Sail

The Snakeskin Sail gives a moderate speed bonus to the player while on a Boat. It has the highest durability out of all five of the sails, along with the Iron Wind. However, its speed is middling between the Thatch Sail and the Cloth Sail. It is best suited for long voyages at sea where the player will have limited access to supplies.

Feather Lite Sail

The Feather Lite Sail gives a high speed bonus to the player while on a Boat. Compared to other sails, it has the second highest speed boost at 40%, but shares the lowest durability with the Thatch Sail - lasting only 2 days. It can be crafted at a Science Machine (unlike the Cloth Sail and the Snakeskin Sail). It is recommended to breed the two Doydoys found in the world before killing any to make this item, as it has the lowest durability of any of the sails. The only way to make them efficient is to breed the Doydoys and collect the feathers, as otherwise, only one can be made, making it mostly useless.

Iron Wind

The Iron Wind gives a high speed bonus to the player while on a Boat. Compared to other sails, it provides the highest speed boost among all Sails at 50%, and lasts 4 days. However, in order to obtain it one must defeat the Sealnado.
