About Boat Games
Boats do not handle like cars. They keep drifting after you turn and take time to slow down, so steering early is what makes the difference. Boat games use this in many ways, from speedboat races to ship simulators and naval battles.
In races, start your turn before the buoy, not when you reach it. With a large ship, make small changes to your course and be patient, since it will take a while to respond.
