Wonder Woman (2017)

Corrected entry: When Diana and Steve sail from Themyscira to London, the sails on the boat just hang there, indicating that there is no wind. Sailboats need wind to move and the sails need periodic adjustment depending on from which direction the wind is coming.

Correction: In the sequence at night there's no wind, but nor are they moving much - that's sailing for you - if there's no wind you just need to wait and hope. After another scene we then see them arriving in London, with a taught rope off the bow, a steamboat in front clearly towing them, and Steve says "we got lucky, we caught a ride and made some good time".

Correction: The sailboat is attached to a steamship or similar in front. That's why Steve said they made some good time.

I just watched the film again. There is no steamship. Where would it have come from?

As they sail into London they're being towed by a steamship.

There's no indication the boat is under any form of power other than the sails.

Wonder Woman (2017)

Corrected entry: Both Diana and Steve go to sleep on the sailboat at the same time. Who is making sure that they stay on course? Navigating a sailboat is vastly different than a power boat, which is why someone is always "on watch" to make sure the boat stays on course. If they're both asleep they could end up anywhere.

Correction: Many people have sailed solo around the world, and presumably they sleep at some point during the voyage. The tiller can be locked into position to keep it on course for short periods of time.

Wonder Woman (2017)

Corrected entry: Steve Trevor flies into the German occupation on a German plane and without any sort of identification or documentation or other proof, they all just believe he is one of them and trust him without hesitation.

Correction: We never see him hand over documentation, but he is an embedded spy, it's highly likely that there were forged papers there. Now, even if there weren't any, documentation was far less rigorous back in 1918 then it is today. Flying in on a German plane well behind the front probably would be enough to not raise eyebrows.

Correction: Themyscira has been around for thousands of years, protected by the dome. Travel was much more difficult in the centuries before World War One. Steve Trevor needed a plane to get there.
