Aquacraft Pirate ship

[Crawler Ted]

Got a chance to get my Aquacraft pirate ship in the water for the first time this year .
Doesnt go very fast ,wind can be a problem because you cant control the sails as they move freely .
I ran it a couple times last year with the sails up .
We had some wind issues at the end , lucky I didnt sink it .
After this ,I'm really thinking about a sailboat .
Oh ya ,,I ran into a rock too . lol

Cool pirate ship, I didn't realize they were so big! Looks like it needs a pile of lead shot in the keel to keep it planted. Fun boats

It has a big weight attached to it but I think it could use more weight too ?

The real pirate ships were loaded with tons of weight on the keel and for ride attitude bow to stern. It looks like it's riding very high. I would pour the weight to it. See how it sails with the wind using rudder to do short tacks. If I ever get a sail boat it would have to be something square rigged. I think it's very cool!
