Auto Credit Based on SlowSailor's Sailing ‘platbodem’ ketch 2

Classic Dutch sailing vessel. Made for the cannels in town and the countryside. It has a flat bottom (translation for ‘platbodem’) so the cannels didn't had to be that deep. Sails best with 20 mph wind.

You can start on land to get a feel with the controls.
Start sailing by turning the trottle all the way up so you don't flip in the first few seconds. See the sailor as dead weight and hold him on the higher side for stability.
