If you aimed the sails out(perpendicular to the boat) and made sure to press b to undock, it should move forward. Were you not able to get away from the dock at all? Resetting might help if it was a bug I'm not aware of
Just bought a few games to give out as Christmas gifts and I'm very excited about it! I see you usually print your games on linen paper, but do you have any recommendations for adding a coating or anything like that?
