Building and Launching Your First Sailing Ship

Constructing the Ship Frame

To begin exploring the ocean, travel to a shipyard along the coast. At the shipyard, construct your wooden ship frame. Once the base structure is assembled, prepare the vessel for open water by installing sails and essential deck fixtures. You can personalize your vessel's appearance by dyeing the sails in different colors before heading out.

Setting Sail and Dropping Anchor

Before departure, you can climb the ship rigging to scout the surrounding waters or inspect your vessel from above. Take the helm at the ship's wheel to take full control of your vessel and steer it directly across the open water.

Whenever you find an island to explore, encounter another vessel, or need to halt your journey, drop anchor. Dropping anchor can be done anywhere in the ocean to keep your ship firmly locked in place until you are ready to resume sailing.
