I've discovered that refitting your ship changes it into a warship, so you should only do it when you want to become a pirate.

It happens to me alot where I'll buy a bunch of one type of cargo at a really sweet price only to find that the entire world market has suddenly plummeted. I figure it's a reaction the game has to you placing to much investment in any one area... why, you ask? Because the developers are sadistic pieces of *CENSORED*
Also, i often get read/write errors in bunches of different circumstances... one of them even straight off the load screen. One such non-fatal error reduced my the max L capacity of my ship to 23... needless to say, I was most discouraged.

If you wish repair Sail:
Click on Shipyard, move the mouse on 'Repair Sails' (Up, on icon sails), click yes, click on signature, and move your mouse to left (max) or right (minus).

If you wish repair Hulk:
Click on Shipyard, move the mouse on 'Repair Hulk' (Down), click signature, and move your mouse to left.

>And is there any way to know how much each product (beer, wool, iron etc. just whatever you can buy) weighs?
see the icons, side of each product
>I dont understand why can you buy 100 of that but only 42 of that etc.
Simple, the weight of each product or good

Not only the weight, it's also about the volume it takes up. Something that is really light can take up more volume then you have available, so you won't havee enough room for it all.
