⛵ Sailing Ship on the Ocean: Bow Spray & Kelvin Wake (2D)

Top-down 2D companion to the 3D sailing ship: a real layered-sine-wave ocean, wind strength and sail trim driving hull speed, and a wake built from Lord Kelvin's own circle construction so the classic 19.47-degree wake angle emerges from real hydrodynamics.
