I am now hunting for a sailboat to torpedo to test thhe theory, but just like cops, you can't find them when you need one.
British MTBs were also made of wood, and I don't know if they would set one off or not, but I don't think so.

Problem there is that the so-called 'British' boats in the game are Elcos, of which the British had none.
