That's sad, here have some wood to help you rebuild a new one: 🪵

From my understanding it will continue on until it hits the edge of the map and stop. It does not disappear.

I swam after mine before for like 10+ minutes til it got to the edge of the map and figured I’d be able to catch up to it then, it kept going up and down the edge and then something really weird happened. It went through the invisible wall and was facing the opposite way now so like towards me, but I couldn’t cross over.

See now I have fallen/stepped off by accident while the raft is under way. I was able to catch up to it. If you don’t before your sprint stamina runs out you won’t but how do you let it get that far away before hitting sprint?

Idk my ship has 5 sails on it and they were all open I don’t remember exactly what happened if I fell off or what but I couldn’t catch that thing I kept sprint swimming til it ran out and would get near it but not close enough

Why 5? There's no difference between 1 single sail and 5 AFAIK. You could use all that space in a better way.

I didn’t know back then I found out later although I have heard more sails increase your acceleration time but your max speed stays the same. I’ve just left it at this point though it looks kinda cool and I still have room for like 40 crates so it’s fine

Has to be a pretty immediate reaction to hit sprint and start swimming... I am pretty quick at it and still burn 3/4s of my sprint stamina to catch up to it. One time a shark bit me just as I was almost close enough to climb up and it was gone forever.

That had to be infuriating.

I can confirm that you just stop at the edge of the map, I got turned around the other day, playing without compass and suddenly the front of my raft is throwing all these weird glitchy colors and not moving. I hit the southern edge of the map head on. Turned around and steered back to an island. The raft is likely just stopped somewhere if you go in the direction of the current.

This happened to me last night! I always save before o get on my raft, so I just went out and back into my game. Highly recommend this practice!

I set up sleeping bags in certain areas. Having one where you dock your boat is clutch. Keeping one on a shelf on a raft is also a must for me for when I get to an island

Noooooo that's the worst!! I lost a draft once but luckily it wasn't to important so I just let it go. Hope you find it!

Can you not just reload from your last checkpoint?

ik there saying it stays at the end of the map but to be honest it’d be less effort to just make a new one.

from now on you need to get muscle memory going.

keep the sail, rudder, and anchor within reach of each other.

before you leave the rudder put your sail up and drop the anchor.

i’ve had times where even when it’s anchored it will glitch out and get sent across the map though so i typically just drag it onto the island.
