What to practice
Watch the whole rectangular hull footprint. A clear center point does not mean the corners clear the dock in the simulation.
What the model includes
This model uses a 6.68 m length, 2.59 m beam and estimated operating mass of 1,450 kg. The renderer and collision model use a pontoon-style outline. Windage, damping and reverse efficiency are authored estimates, not measurements of your boat.
A focused comparison
Compare an alongside attempt in calm conditions and in the wind-on lesson. Review the sideways movement before increasing control input. Treat the difference as an experiment inside this specific model.
