The longship is listed as 2 x 15 4-foot hexes (so 30 total), but with max passengers of 32 and rowed by 20-40 men... what's missing that the math doesn't add up here?

Looking at real/historical-Earth longship stats, I think it's that the width is incorrect. The slimmest longship was 2.7m wide, so I think 20 x 3 is more like it.
