So they are on one of the castles of the ship. (Aft from the rail work) with full sails shown behind them and the look forward. (Direction of the sails) and see another ship at full sail coming toward them.
How is the wind blowing in two opposite directions?
Well, I kind of messed up with that panel and was hoping no one would notice. They’re stopped and the sails probably should have been furled, but I didn’t have any photo reference for that. Ashford should also actually be looking starboard rather than aft (as the railing suggests) or over the bow (as the sails suggest). So I’m going to blame my lack of familiarity with ships and some poor planning for this one.
I would say that one do not “stop” a sailship at sea, it makes no sense (why be dead in the water, when you can be sailing towards your destination) and it would look strange and be a reason to investigate.
At the end of the previous chapter, the ship was damaged after taking fire from an enemy ship. Rather than risk breaching the hull, the captain ordered the ship to stop to make repairs.
Well if the left most lines of the sails were curved to the right instead of the left then it would show them looking aft and then both ships would be going in the same direction. Though the aft ship if she was close enough would begin to ‘steal’ wind from the ship it was chasing.
On a scale of 1 – 10 they are at 12 on the “in it this deep now scale”
Can I ask the sailing ship question?
Sure.

Easy, it’s called a hurricane.
