[REL] Playable S-Boot ( Final )

Hi

just my two cents worth,

from driving about US Coast Guard 110 ft patrol boats at 35 kts,, that lag is quite correct as it does take time to have enough action on the rudders to turn a long vessel at speed. That is just the dynamics of a long narrow fast moving hull. They do not like to twist, and a high speed run sallying your rudders(turn the helm 20 right,, then 20 left ect for a zig zag) ,, you drive 3 to 5 seconds ahead of what you are accually doing.

I was suprised when I encountered that effect as most do not realize this response exists. Good job!
