Note: The [[small raft]] floats, but cannot be boarded, so does not even count as a boat.
== Security ==
Upon finishing the ship the last person who had the unfinished ship in the [[inventory]] becomes the owner. Dragging the cart or ship the unfinished ship is built in does not reliably set the ownership. Ownership can be transferred by the owner in the vehicle management window.
The owner and any person with the ''Manage'' right can manage the usage permissions through a window available via the ''Manage vehicle'' menu option.
The permissions control ''drive'' (embarking as commander), ''mount'' (embarking as a passenger), ''accessing the inventory hold'' of the ship and ''managing the settings''.
Each of these rights can be granted or denied to ''all friends'', ''all villagers'' and ''everyone''. The owner always has all permissions. The settings only take affect if the ship is locked however.
The owner of the ship can attach a [[boat lock]] to it to enable permissions. The lock can be removed by everyone in posession of the key but only the owner can attach it again.
To secure a ship from drifting or being dragged away it's important to moor it with a [[mooring anchor]]. A ship can be moored by the commander and any passenger but only the commander can raise the anchor.
On [[Freedom]] ships can not be [[Lockpicking|lockpicked]]. Trying so will result in the message ''Stealing boats is punished with death penalty here. You decide not to''.
== Notes ==
*You can moor a ship with a [[Mooring anchor]] to keep it from drifting away and taking damage.
*If you are building a ship larger than a small sailing boat inside a cart, it will become too heavy to drag. Make sure to move the cart next to water before it gets too heavy. See [[small cart]] to find out how much you can drag.
