Check the "Boat" section. Lots of platforms, diddly in the way of masts.
Just keep looking - they'll show up sooner or later.

This requires that one has a website. :-)
Actually, Steve Jackson's page was supposed to have an area for people to
list their fleets, but after a couple of years of it not being done, I tend
to doubt it will happen (but I haven't checked in a while).

It depends on what your motivation is for building ships. Gamers tend to
keep the cannon count down, though the actual ship can get large. Those who
like displays like to get 20-40 cannon on a single ship, often
double-decked. You can go by number of mid-sections, studs-wide, or perhaps
simply studs-long at the waterline.
Sounds like yet another round of "My Fleet's Bigger'n Your Fleet". :-)
