This mod fixes several aspects about vanilla Minecraft boats, including:

Client-Server desync: Your boat won't randomly crash into things because the Client and Server disagrees about the boat's position!
Boats won't drop planks and sticks anymore: If you crash, you get your boat back!
Your boats won't crash when colliding with an animal/mob: If you collide with a squid or a swimming mob, it gets damaged, you bounce off and can move onward
