When you get in a boat to go sailing, the hunger bar goes away, and the way that the boat moves isn't like it used to be. It's very glitchy and doesn't move smoothly.
Thanks!

Boat movement is very jerky, and uneven for me with 13w16a. It's like the acceleration is getting nullified after a few tenths to a couple seconds of attempted movement.
Also the boat twitches from side to side.
Nearly unusable.
I've also had issues with the boat, I placed it in both 1 block and 2 block deep water, right clicked to get in, my hunger bar disappeared and the controls were laggy, would move a few blocks, pause, move a few more, etc, also it seemed to move those few blocks at walking speed.
using the sneak key to dismount after moving several blocks dumps you back at the location you first boarded the boat and then renders the boat a seemingly solid yet unremovable block in the water and can't be boarded again.
when you get in a boat it acts like your on a horse removing the hunger bar and getting out with left shift
and i have had a boat become unbreakable and unrideable
It appears to be that the boat is not syncing it's position correctly, resulting in the behavior everyone is seeing. Try sailing a boat a ways away from where you got in, and get out using lshift (as trying to activate it will result in you shifting out and back in again). You will teleport back to where you got in. It seems the riding mechanic was updated, but they forgot about the boat. Obviously, horses work, and I tested minecarts to be in working order, but even testing by way of a waterslide with the boat yields instant teleportation to the starting position in my testing. Of course, in this state since the boat isn't actually moving, it is entirely unbreakable, and if you teleport back to start you can't access the boat at the bottom because it's essentially a ghost. Reload the world however, and the boat is back where it was when you got in.
Simplifying this ticket to the most prominent of the multiple bugs posted here. It is much easier for us to deal with bug reports when they contain only one bug. Feel free to create new ticket(s) with additional bugs.

Mojang removed the boat controls and replaced it with the horse controls to make things cleaner. However, I can confirm that the boat is UNSTEERABLE... you are unable to turn unless moving forward, and the brakes on the boats fail every time, meaning every time you want to stop, you must wait for the boat to slow down, or crash it into the shore.
I can confirm hunger bar issue, but not movement issue.
