Help our heroes escape the Micro Managers on MetalBeard’s Sea Cow!

Wow nice set. Price is nothing to marvel at however.
What do people think of the technic panels for the sails? I think they look pretty good aside from the very last set. Maybe the front ones could have been double sided also.
Despite liking them, I think I would probably still prefer the cloth sails, or some improvement on those.
The pirate sets were my favourite as a kid in the 90s, and I hadn’t started collecting Lego again when the last few sets of ships were released.
Not too keen on the ebay prices for them, so while the predicted price is high, my ship collection might start here. Might even risk buying a second at some stage to sell in a year or two in an attempt to pay for this addiction.
I am actually a big fan of the Technic panel sails. It’s certainly a different look.
I have always worried about how well the cloth sails last over time.
