Launching

is a mechanic in Build A Boat For Treasure that floods the Building Space and un-anchors all blocks placed by a team, effectively sending their boat into the river.
==Activation==
Launching is achieved by opening the "Launch" button on the right side of the screen. A pop-up will appear asking, "Are you sure you want to launch your boat?" with a "Yes" and "No" button. However, any attempts to launch will fail until at least one block has been placed. Additionally, if there is a team with three people or more, it will require two votes to launch (three with four, etc.).
Once launching is confirmed by a player, it disappears for that player only. This means the button will still be there if the boat is launched by other teammates. If a player dies after launching, the button returns for them. It will also return upon teleporting back after opening the Treasure.
The voting function can be abused using team switching. For example, when a team consists of three players, two votes are required to launch all boats. A player can then vote to launch, then leave the team. Since only one vote would be required now, the launch automatically occur.
==Effects==
If a player launches without saving, they will lose any unsaved progress on their boat. However, they may be able to save the unanchored version in its current position if they reset while their boat is still on the Building Space, then saves. This, though, will save the unanchored version in its current position.
Launching a boat while it is still loading will cause the all already-loaded blocks to be un-anchored. In the past, a boat would continue loading anchored blocks despite the launch.
While Isolation Mode is enabled, launching temporarily disables Isolation Mode until anyone on the team dies. The orange lines of Isolation Mode also disappear during this time. Previously, they would turn yellow.

==Trivia==
*The theme that plays when the player launches the boat is a slowed down, instrumental version of "Champagne Sky" by Haberdashery.
*Sometimes, on the desktop version of ROBLOX, changing the size and shape of the window also distorts the launch button, causing it to appear flattened or stretched.
