Akat, you don't need verlets for simple things like boats and floating objects in general. The power of verlets is when you need to roll something over or have collision interaction with another set of verlets.
If you look at the driver demo on the blitz cd you can see that by just checking the wheels of a car and using align to vector, you get a great result. Same for a Bouy floating on an ocean.
So using verlet calculations with string constraints is overkill for simple things.
