thank you for being able to read more than 4 words. For the rest of you, please let me reword my horribly complicated sentence

the. very. first. time. you. enter. a. boat. you. see. a. message. that. says: to. exit. boat. press. ctrl-left click. this. will. only. happen. the. FIRST. time. you. enter. a. boat.

Yeah, yeah I get it. The way your sentence was worded implied when you get in a boat instead of simply the first time ever. Then again that sentence can be taken several ways so whatever. Now that I got it continue on, sounds like a good idea if it's only the first time.

when you first get into a boat.

I know the english language is something that can be misinterpreted quite easily, but I suspect you just skipped the highlighted word. It was clear enough to most of us, can't you just admit you made a mistake? It's ok, I made one once too, it happens

Put it in boat building skill description.

its already there!
i think it helped some noobs, but probably not many. and most noobs use their first boat without having the skill, just using a boat they find at shore... (someone already mentioned that)
