Globe: Provide electric motor
There’s are condition on cruise (when not actually racing of course) when it would be useful to have Uma’s electric motor to be able to maneuver in close quarters or when headed badly.

Can we have a spinnaker to launch on downwind runs (and retrieve
Who it’s for: Students and aspiring skippers practicing for real-life certification (NauticEd / RYA / ASA) and boat owners who want to practice procedures in the off-season or train their crew. --- I’m asking for a high-fidelity Free Sail sandbox mode for skippers who want to practice real procedures, not just sail around. Starting with Yacht - it should be fully simulated so the procedures you practice in VR match what you’d do on a real yacht. Procedural examples (must feel 1:1): Tack / gybe: the same steps, in the same order, with the same line handling you’d need in real life. Mistakes have realistic consequences. Heave-to: should be possible and behave realistically Reefing: the steps to reef (and un-reef) should match real-world procedure. Sail handling: hoist/lower sails with realistic friction, tension, and consequences if you do it wrong Systems fidelity (core features): Full access to all lines: halyards, sheets, and sail control lines (vang, outhaul, traveler, backstay etc.) Winches that behave like winches: wraps matter, load matters, line can slip if handled wrong. Functionalammers: opening/closing affects the system correctly Engine control: start/stop + basic throttle/gear behavior Anchor control: drop/raise anchor (with believable anchoring behavior) Crew note: For procedures that normally require more than one person, ideally support AI crew assistance and/or a multiplayer crew option. Goal: A sandbox mode where mastering the boat leaves you with real-world procedural confidence and a deeper understanding of how to operate a yacht.
Make the offline and online modes exactly the same. Currently, offline physics are simplified, which causes small differences between offline and online play. For competitive play, both modes must behave identically.
Make the MarineVerse app publish NMEA 0183 messages over UDP, so that it's possible to get near real time feed in tools like OpenCPN when both the app and OpenCPN are running on the same wifi network
Replace the current night sky with major constellation, planets and North star display only. Could serve as navigation aid and have something else to see during nighttime sailing. Maybe even add the use of a sextant to practice celestial navigation.
Provide the extra sail control lines. Accurately visualise an impact of different control line settings. Accurately simulate sailing physics in different wind strengths depending on the sail shape.
SUGGESTED BY (Thor L. Jørgensen): Boats move on water, not just side to side. It needs to Bob in front. It felt just flat.
Hi, are you planning to add sailing catamaran to the boats and also for the docking training?
It is very hard to get accurate sail trims. The movements with the thumb sticks are too imprecise. It will be very helpful for the sensitivity of the trims to be turned down significantly so that more accurate trimming can be made.
