wanna get a toy boat that actually works well here is how to do it

Steps

  1. Get a small piece of wood. A piece about 30 cm long should do it. Carve into the base of the boat (deck) and just smooth it up a bit. If you want it to be colored, paint it.

  3. Build a mast. Get a napkin or handkerchief and make fold it so it is a triangle and will also cover half the stick as the mast,now super glue it to the mast and your ready
  4. Try it out when the wind is blowing. Take it out to a small pond or other small body of water.
