Weeee! How about a Chinese Junk coverted for low altitude cruising? Being Chinese, these fishermen are in touch with the mystical essence of nature, hence their ability to reap the powers of flight from flying fish!! (well, that, and inflating the fish with bellows and stuffing them into a huge fishnet above the boat).
The sails have been rigged into rudders and side-sails.
Hopefully I can create a decent final image for this. I want it to have a bit of the feel of a traditional chinese painting.
