[ Curufin smiles when he sees the sandwich is appreciated; he's pleased if he can help in any way, even with so simple a thing as food. ]
It's a twenty-foot, flat-bottomed both with a single mast and a square sail. Oars and rowlocks in case of no wind. I've used the traditional shipbuilding methods of the Elvish people, since those were developed for northern waters and turbulent seas. A long, relatively narrow boat breasts the waves easily and is simple to handle. Carries as many as six people plus baggage. Later, I'll make a larger boat, but right now, this is the type we need. I'm an Elf, so I don't really need to sleep, and I can work literally around the clock. Fourteen days' worth of work in seven days, and I'll be ready to raise the sail.
What kind of boat have you been on before?
And I'm pleased to meet you, Mokuba Kaiba and Hiryu!
