Orleans, Unhappy Meals (solo) walkthrough

You got the time, FLS has the doubloons.

1) After you pop in, turn to your left until you are in the wind gauge next to the red. You should be making 15 knots or so.

2) Stay on this course for 3 to 5 min. Observe of the enemy ships that almost all are following you and all are on the same side of the headed into the wind you are.

3) When you have about 1200 yards in front of the closest ship, cross into the wind to the same gauge on the other side of headed into the wind.

4) The enemy ships will not cross the wind until they are just past directly behind you. Sail in this direction until all enemy ships are no closer than 2720 yards. You can tell you are that far because they will drop their sails.

5) Work your way back to the Prison ships being careful not to get closer to the closest enemy than 2500 yards. Get closer and you will activate them.

6) When you are satisfied you can rush into the Prison ships faster than the enemy can get back and pound you, run in and free the prisonser.

7) Do not stop to fight the NPC in avcon. Run up to the prisoner, hit 'x' to get the dialog window, click the dialog to free the prisoner and run back to the escape door.

Rinse and Repeat x 2, Sail to the next Prison ship. Get you loot.
