Controls are hard to use and the sail does not visibly change

- If something is changing on the animation, I can't tell. One of the four control buttons has functionality (I was increasing the rudder angle, I believe).

Does not reset when the boat leaves the screen
From 1 comment
- Also doesn't reset, even when the boat leaves the screen (or hits the purple lines). Yeah, I'm not good. Your first submission, I was much better that time.

Sail controls did not work on Mac keyboard shortcuts
From 1 comment
- I can't seem to turn the sail on a mac. Cmd+left/right doesn't work, and Ctrl+left/right switches desktops.

Do the sail and rudder respond to key presses?
From 1 comment
- Not sure I follow you. Do you mean you can't tell if the sail and rudder are responding to key presses?
