A helpful tutorial!
We have finally made a YouTube video using iSail, and how to use it. The link is below!

Server, using iSail is @ piratekings.mcserver.ws (not my)
English
We have created this plugin, since there is currently no well-functioning plugins for ships that is well updated at the moment. This plugin will realize sailing and sea battles.
To do
- Improve sails manipulations
- Improve sinking (50% done)
- Make autorefreshing of ships
Features
- Realistic movement of ships
- Realistic turning
- Ships take damage from accidents
- Speed, acceleration, and turning depends on its size and sails
- Realistic takelage of ship
- Pumps (fast drain of water)
- Fast quenching of fire
- Climbing
- Small protection in shipyards
- Realistic fire: blocks burns for a longer time, and rain doesn't quench fire. It's made for removing broken masts from the game and for the smooth burning of everything. Otherwise ships may burn quickly
- Ship may kill players
- Cannons integration!
Installing
Soon will be downloaded archive with plugin and config file. Just unpack it into folder "plugins".
Configuration
Using
Click this YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1WDdD0zv7E
OR
Be prepared, because the creation of a ship needs a lot of time. Ready? Click! (wait until pages and movie will finish)
Warning
If you see messages like "no ship detected", know: You have to stay on ship in moment of moving to be part of the crew of the ship! Otherwise the ship won't add you to the crew!
If you fell out off your ship, know: you were not on the ship or you tripped and fell off. You have to sneak to hold on unstable place, like a mast or the edge of the ship.
Redstone don't moves!
All inventory blocks don't moves (you can only use it while ship is staying) ! But you can to use vaults or minecart chests.
If your configuration file doesn't works, just copy default configuration
Sorry for bad English.

I'll try to add airships. Now I am programming a basis of plugin. As you can see, now it have 7% complete.
I mentioned airships because AutoCraft doesn't have smooth movement, nor any acceleration. By the description this sound to be more like the (now defunct) Zeppelin mod (yes I know this is a plugin not a mod so there are limitation) in the way you planned on implementing it. If it's not in the card, tat cool, my server is steampunky so there are airships and boats so if the boats are cooler than the airships that's fine. Maybe my players will want them more...
@minekee2 I speak.
@minekee2
That is not Polish that is Russian. And he has an English translation right above it.
@JlJlJl
Interested in seeing this plugins development.
Does anyone speak Polish?
@JlJlJl
So you want me to translate for you? If that is the case, sure!
@jhs232
Now I learn Java. But it's hard to understand the language, because I'm Russian and I know English language badly... Would be great, if you join in the project and we will start to program.
I badly know Java, but I know the algorithm of actions.

"Ships" is better than autocraft, when it comes to ships. It has fuel, and you can make it so the ships can't fly. Airships would be cool, but I intend to use this on my Medieval/Fantasy Hardcore Spout RPG server, it would fit in just perfectly! Airships are more for modern servers, I think, but you can add them if you want to. If you want me to help you with anything, just tell me, I'll gladly help. I'm a beginner at Java, so I don't think I can help you program, but I can provide a test server! http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/ships/
EDIT: Oh, you put airships in that comment... Yes, Autocraft is better when it comes to airships...
@fuzyfeet
Autocraft is best plugin for airships.
May be I will create airships... May be...
If you get this working can you make a second one for airships (it seems you want this to be for water based travel/battle)?
@anisredbull
I have been programming framework.
@jhs232
I am teaching by author of "cannons". So iSail comes in the kit with "cannons". Would be great if you help me (advertising, programming). Would be fun if peoples will know this plugin.
Chests will work. You can to trade and move cargo.
:)
Can you do so that the owner can drive the boat? Thanks. And if you can add fuel for it will be awesome!
This sounds absolutely amazing! It would be awesome to have epic sea battles! I do have a few suggestions. Make it so that cannons from http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/block-cannons-v1-1 can be used! They would be perfect for sea battles! Also make it do that every block in the game can be part of ship, even containers such as chests and dispensers!
