You can get them to do it. See those arrows going left and right that are used for course correction and spinning in place ? Between them is a forward arrow, atop the sail icon. Click that, and your ship will immediately stop turning and keep going straight ahead until you give it a new order.

Anyway, great story. And yeah, the AI sadly always deploys its galleys like they were regular ships.

I wonder if the Ottomans can build real Xebecs though. I've seen pirates using them and they're really deadly - they're very low on the water so they're hard to hit, and can fire right at a ship's waterline, esp. when boarding or being boarded. I fear them almost as much as I do Fluyts.
