The raft is the most basic ship you are able to craft in Valheim. It is a basic vessel with a wooden base and a small sail. You can pilot the raft by using the rudder which is located at the back. The raft also has a ladder which can be interacted with at the back.
There are currently three types of boats (or watercraft if you really want to get technical) you can make in Valheim. Each one requires different materials, and two will require you to unlock access to metals like Bronze and Iron. The three types of boats in Valheim include: the Raft, the Karve, and the Longship.

Climb onto the boat and interact with the rudder to begin sailing. Sailing in Valheim is heavily affected by wind speed and direction . Generally, trying to travel upwind (i. e. in the opposite direction of the wind) will be very slow, while traveling downwind (i. e. in the same direction as the wind) will be much faster.
How do I repair my boat in Valheim?
To repair your Valheim boat, equip your hammer, right-click to enter the build menu , then position your cursor over the boat. Press left-click and you’re ready to take on the stormy seas once more. Each boat has a rudder, which you’ll need to use while sailing. You can travel at different speeds, and it’s even possible to reverse.
How do sterndrive boats work?
As with an outboard, the propeller turns when you turn the steering wheel. Sterndrive boats will operate in reverse , similar to an outboard, but you will not always be able to see the direction that the drive is facing.
As the rudder goes, so goes the stern , and the boat turns. During turns the boat pivots around a point near its midsection—roughly at the mast on a sloop. The stern moves one way, the bow moves the other way, as the boat changes direction.
During turns the boat pivots around a point near its midsection— roughly at the mast on a sloop . The stern moves one way, the bow moves the other way, as the boat changes direction. In very close quarters it’s important for the helmsman to remember this, and make allowances for the swinging stern to avoid bumping into other boats, docks, buoys, etc.
The boat turns by pulling or pushing the tiller handle towards or away from the operator . This action causes the outboard to pivot in its mount, thereby turning the boat. The direction the tiller needs to be moved in order to turn the boat is often the confusing point.
Why do boats porpoise?
A boat can porpoise because the weight in the boat is disproportionate between the bow and the stern. It might also be because of the trim angle of the engine and the mounting height of the engine difference.
What causes a boat to Porpoise?
Most of the time, the boat is porpoising because its center of mass is too far out in the front. That makes the forward tip fall lower than it should, causing it to porpoise.
I would like to better understand the phenomenon of porpoising in smallish (18’ – 24’) planning hulls . My understanding is that porpoising is the result of a boat’s COG being too far aft and/or the wetted surface not being large enough to support the weight of the boat on plane.
What is a porpoising powerboat?
Porpoising is known as a cyclic oscillation of the powerboat in relation to pitch and heave, with sustained or increasing amplitude. It occurs when planning across smooth water. Basically the bow of the boat just bounces up and down on top of the water.
Porpoising is the result of the motor’s outdrive pushing the boat upwards , essentially boosting it out of the water – albeit for a short period of time. Once the boat comes back down, the outdrive will once again push it back out of the water. This cycle will continue to repeat until either the boat’s speed is reduced or the trim is fixed.
