I sort of agree with Scott.  My first thought is that small boats
shouldn't be allowed on the oceans, but perhaps it's ok as long as
they're next to land.  Use those small boats for that
Ferenth-Rimmon-Hothras trade run!

I envision olympia ships to be something like:

River	    Shoreline Ocean	Open Ocean
small boats	  Y		  Y		    N
schooner	  Y		  Y		    Y
galley		  N		  Y		    Y
clipper		  N		  Y		    Y

Clippers can get a speed advantage when moving on ocean links, or
something like that...

Of course, I'm way behind in my Olympia reading, so this might already
be done.
