Hmm, I never even thought about that ship leaving waves :P They are
supposed to be created by wind, even though I know it doesn't look like
that. It's just a wave-pattern with some turbulence, and the mid-point
being one hundred meters left from the boat.

Actually, judging by the pictures I found on teh web, a sailboat like
this probably wouldn't leave waves at all (or at least they would be
very small). I'll try to make the waves look more like they're supposed
to, and see how it works.
