    Finally, a correct ship! A Sloop is defined specifically as " any Single masted Sailing Vessel - Courtesy of Des.127"

    Drawing seen Thx. But the gaff sail isn't turned so far sideways when the wind is coming directly from astern, cause that would force the ship into a hard turn. Better 30 or 45 degrees into the wind, so that the ship rolls to that side using the headsails and the rudder to balance the ship. When i've learned how to make 3-D pictures, i will fix that. ;-)

    TL;DR the flag should be facing to the front of the ship, the same way the wind is moving.

    No.. the flag is now raised in the wrong direction. The ship has a spinnaker up, which means the wind is directly behind her and the mainsail should be on full boom rather than pulled right in like that, so it can catch the wind. Those two tiny little jibs should also be let right out on the opposide side of the ship to the mainsail and again, filled farwards, rather than pulled tight in line with the keel.
