I'm thinking about adding converting my expansion-RBR to a two-decker. It
looks too much like a big canoe currently. Plus, the center mast I added
is too short.

I've always thought that, about the pirate ship hulls, and the Town ship
hull bricks. It's not like they don't know how to design them to allow
sound building.
I suppose each half-section would cost nearly as much as the full sections
do now, because TLG would need two molds, instead of one. So it's a
cost-saving step on their part.
