Wiki:
The Sunfish is a personal-size, beach-launched sailing dinghy. It features a very flat, boardlike hull carrying a crab claw ("Oceanic lateen") sail mounted to an un-stayed mast.
Having a crab claw sail with its simple two line rigging makes a Sunfish simple to learn sailing on and to set up.
Today, the Sunfish brand-name has become so widely known it is often misapplied generically to refer to any brand of board-style boat sporting the characteristic crab claw sail.

If you have a slow pc (like I do).. please use Medium Water instead of High.
The boat tends to bug out on High + Ocean mod + slow @ss pc
Edit:
i just realized that the boat turns unrealistically fast. IF you want to tone it down please find the shrunk down VTOL nozzle i used to counter-steer the boat. It is located slightly below where the Center of Mass (CoM) lines intersect. Change its Input to this:
(Roll < 0 ? 0.35 : 0) + (Roll > 0 ? -0.35 : 0)
Another note: some people reported ths boat is too bouncy on pc with Intel HD graphics when played without Ocean mod. Please set your game to run on a proper GPU or play with Ocean mod if your laptop doesn't have a GPU :)
It works alright on Android phones though.
Very cool! I'm jealous of you PC guys with the pretty ocean mod.
Thank you!
Yay a sunfish! These are fun to sail!
Neat sailboat!
