Using Ships

[Cthulhu Dragon]

I wanted to do the forge of virtue quests after starting the game, so I hiked all the way to vesper to find the "golden ahnk". The problem is, I can't get the ship to move. I get in, raise the gang plank, double click the sails, and nothing happens. All my character sit down like they are supposed to, but when I try to move the ship the party just gets up and walks. Am I missing Something? To the best of my recollection I am using the boat correctly. Am I being obtuse or is there something wrong here?

that is actually an issue with exult that is not covered anywhere.
After the companions sit down, close the gangplank, then doubleclick on the sail again.

Thanks, that did it.
