Boat Tips
- Make sure that the boat you are making does not have a hole on the bottom.
- Make sure that you do not put too much weight on the boat.
- Boats act as a balance scale. That means there has to be equal weight on both sides.
- Raise your anchor so you can move your speedboat or ship.
- Put up your sail on the sailboat so the wind can blow on the sail making the sailboat move.
- Put a paddle on both sides of your rowboat or canoe so you can paddle straight.
- Tie your boat up to a pier close to the dock so people can board the boat or ship safely.
