About it
A sailboat is pushed along by the wind in its sails. A sail works like a wing, so a sailboat can even sail at an angle toward the wind. Under the water, a keel resists sideways motion; its weight helps a ballasted boat stay upright.
Tap it for a big gust: the boat heels over, leaning far to one side, with spray flying at the bow and the stern, then it rocks back upright. Sailors lean out over the high side to help hold the boat up. Pick the colors of the sails and the stripe in the Splash tab.
