I think we will need multiple boat owners, but I think it would be best
to limit it to boats supplied by the organizers so we can keep track
easily.

Hmm, I'm not sure how well that would work. Such a thing might be best
handled by using the Pirate Game (or Pirate Wars) to supply the ship
movement rules for BrickWars (and use BrickWars for the attacks and

Hmm, that would be a good idea.
