There are quite a few things that will make a boat move:
- an ocean current or a river going downstream can be used to move a boat if it is going in the direction you want.
- poling in shallow water by sticking a long pole down and pushing against the bottom.
- a hand held oar or paddle that pushes against the water.
- wind pressure against a sail.
- a motor driven propeller creating a pressure difference in the water.
- a jet drive ejecting a water jet behind a jetboat, causing an equal forward movement mass for mass. (Jetboats eject water into the air. Underwater jetcraft eject into the water)
- a steam engine driven paddle wheel, with its lower blades below the water providing thrust.
- air boats or fan boats, pushed by a large above-water propellor.
- towing from a tow path by pulling the boat along by a rope, using human, animal or motor power.
- others include water bikes, peddle boats

What discovery did Columbus make about wind?
He learned the winds make the boat move straight.
Does a sail make the boat move slower or faster?
Actually, it does both depending on how you use them. The sails can move so a person sailing a boat can catch the wind by how they move the sail or they can also stop the boat by the movement of a sail or lowering the sail.
What does the keel do?
The keel is important because it forces the boat to move forwards when the force of the wind on the sails might also be pushing the boat sideways. The keel stops the boat simply going directly downwind.

How do you make the skullduggery boat on poptropica move?
First tap the space bar, tap again it will stop. Pretty simple. Then the boat will follow you mouse.
How can water move the boat?
Water moves the boat by exerting a force on it in the opposite direction to the movement of the boat. When the propeller of the boat rotates, it pushes water backwards, which, in turn, propels the boat forward. This reaction force from the water helps move the boat through the water.
What are examples of unbalance?
I push the boat but the boat can't move.
