It's an unpowered boat, as in no engines. It's SLOW and you will need to fiddle with the WIND settings to get it to move. There is some sideways movement, but forward is there too. Rotate the 'sail' using the VTOL slider to 'catch more wind', roll inputs may also help. Steering, such as it is, works the normal way. Needs more work to get it to go properly. This is the MK I version.

It's a start. But you may look at some others. Off course I want you to look at mine
Sorry all. It seems this needs a LOT more work than I thought. Current version seems to 'weather cock' so the sail points into the wind, so steering happens via the sail instead of the rudder.
However, if the wind is directly behind the boat, it does seem to pick up speed. Odd.
It's a boat.
I seem to be doing this right now. Idea taken from the book, 'Sahara', written by Clive Cussler (the movie was lousy) where the heros take an old aircraft and turn it into a land yacht, using one of the wings as a sail.
