Have you thought about updating rffuzzo's Realistic sailing E3 mod? I have updated the scripts and it seems that it still works, it has a small defect that I could not correct, when the wind stops, the boat stops advancing abruptly. Maybe you can fix that mistake and make the boat appear to have inertia by stopping when there's no wind.
Excellent mod, getting all the caches in Skellige doesn't feel anywhere near as tedious now. Only thing is I wish there was a version that let you stay at top speed without holding anything (like your horse mod) but it's still a huge improvement either way.
Latest Vortex version is messing up the installation. It's extracting the /mods folder of the mod in the /Mods game folder. Need to manually install it to make it work.
Awesome mod, damn it, when I got up to speed from Kaer Trolde, the sail itself reached the Marlin Coast.When Geralt accelerated, my hair blew in front of the monitor.I highly recommend it.
Doing my first run through of Skellige and being the 100%'er I am, found this mod to make my life so much easier without feeling like I'm breaking immersion.
Please add variant x2 / x4 / x6. The mod doesn't always work. The standard boat movement step is 3 units, but when the mod is enabled it gives 4-5 units. 2 times I press and shift and W, but it does not always work.
You can do it yourself if you wish. The Witcher 3\Mods\modFasterBoat\content\scripts\game\vehicles\boat\boatComponent.ws and open the file with Visual Studio code, notepad, or any of your preferred text editors. Scroll down to line 951 or search for maxBoatSpeed. You'll see that case 2 is set to 10.0f and case 3 is set to 16.0f. Case 2 should be if normal speed and case 3 should be the fast speed. Change those numbers to factors you like and your boat will go vroom vroom. Good luck!

Edit: It seems the game is limiting the speed to 2x max.
After 10 minutes, version (4.04) No holes in the boat lol
I don't have a lot of mods, just The stable & Brothers in arms bug fixes.
Looks like this,
