Thomas Sets Sail is the twelfth episode of the eleventh season.

Plot

Thomas is carrying the Mayor of Sodor's yacht from the docks to the harbour. He is told to wait for an engineer to put the ships tall mast down, but Thomas is too impatient to wait. When Thomas goes through some trees the sail unravels and the wind goes up, blowing Thomas down the track and past the harbour. Thomas realises his mistake and collects an engineer from the harbour. The engineer puts the mast down, Thomas is able to stop at the harbour and the yacht is able to be launched.
