This is the SS spinner my second working wind powered sailboat
The first one is here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/L09GJx/Tailbeth-sailing-Vessel

It has a few improvements over the first one like an engine and just overall better controls

This might work on VR but I’m not sure because I don’t have one but I put all the controls there so if you have a VR please tell me if it works

Controls are in the craft instructions

Here is a nice diagram showing how to have your sails

    Hey this is great. I can actually Tack! I'll run it through my VR rig a bit later, but I can see straight away that steering may be a problem. It will be able to steer through the VR thumb controls, but VR doesn't let you hold things behind you that are out of camera view. Still. Nice job.
