Take full command of the seas without ever leaving the wheel.

Easy Sailing is the essential quality-of-life plugin for the Rust Naval Update. It overhauls the default boat controls, allowing captains to manage sails, engines, and anchors directly from the steering wheel. Whether you are a solo player trying to manage a large vessel or a clan captain needing immediate reaction times, Easy Sailing puts the control back in your hands.

⚓ Key Features

• No more running around the deck to manually adjust sails or engines. Do it all from the pilot's seat.
• Smart Cycling: Intuitive forward and reverse throttle controls that intelligently manage your propulsion methods.
• Solo Friendly: Makes operating larger player-made boats viable for solo players or small groups.
• Hybrid Propulsion: Seamlessly blends sail power and engine power for maximum fuel efficiency or maximum speed.
• Adds tighter turn radius with Ctrl similar to the Tugboat.
• Optionally allow engines to run without the need for Low Grade Fuel.

⚙️ How It Works

Easy Sailing maps the boat's complex mechanics to your standard movement keys Forward, Backward and Reload (Anchor Control) key while mounted at the steering wheel.

The Speed Cycle

• Pressing Forward (W) cycles through three distinct states:
• Idle: All propulsion is cut. Sails are raised and engines are turned off to save fuel.
• Sailing Mode: Sails are lowered to catch the wind. Engines remain off for silent, fuel-free cruising.
• Full Speed: Sails remain lowered, and all available engines ignite for maximum thrust.
• Braking & Reverse
• Holding Ctrl while turning can allow for a tighter turn radius similar to the Tugboat.

Pressing Backward (S) will reduce your speed state. If you are in Idle and press backward again, the ship will shift into Reverse (engaging engines automatically, provided fuel and engines are available).

Anchor Management

Forget running to the anchor stand. simply press Reload (R) while steering to instantly raise or lower the anchor.
