[Low-Tech] Boating vs Shiphandling

Boating/Crewman=Operation of the vessel
Shiphandling=Operation of the crew operating the vessel

Might make more sense to think of Shiphandling as Crewhandling. And you can do both at the same time, Shiphandling and Crewman, you just get the "doing two things at once" penalty. IMO, you could have a version of Shiphandling to manage the crew of a multi-oared boat, but I would probably default it to Shiphandling as-is, since they're really accomplishing the same thing.

My 2¢
