Is there easier way to unstuck a long boat?

I was building a new outpost that had meadow rivers on 2 sides. I sail in fine. While I was working on the outpost. Got the basic done and want to leave. Some how the storm turned my ship into a bridge. Took me about 20 mins or so to get it back to sail out. Try to push it out many times but swam under it. The water was some what deep. I try the rudder for paddling but that usually push me into the land moving at angle. Feels like a bus turning with no power steering in turning with no wind.

No, right now, to remove a really stuck boat, you have to destroy it.

Oh, if you plan on sailing the world, I recommend staying away from any Mistlands you come across. It gets very dark (darker than the Swamp) and the waters close to shore can be very shallow (they were on my seed). I got stuck 6 times. had to destroy and rebuild 4.

Usually if you break the ship while standing next to the mast with one of your weapons, you will grab all the materials and you can just rebuild it. If you are in shallow water you can just break it anywhere, only thing you have to worry about are the nails sinking and if the water is too deep you can loose them.

You can deconstruct it (destroy it with an axe), collect the items and rebuilt it. Just make sure the water ist not too deep so you can collect the items from the bottom.

Any other ways beside breaking down and rebuilding it? When I got the long boat mast stuck on tree, had to cut the tree down to free it.
