Hey guys.  I'm not an Utena expert (I've only watched anime and movie thrice), though I do love it.

I was wondering--and I'm sorry how open-ended this is--how you guys think a ship on water theme would fit into Utena?  I'm asking because I intend to write a fic/run a roleplaying game in which ships replace cars as a major thematic element in an AU of the Utena anime and movie (where specific people will eventually turn into ships).

As far as what already exists, the buildings of Ohtori in the movie move sort of like ships and Touga presumably drowns after Juri falls off her rowboat.  Is there anything else?

As to thematic ideas; Akio unerringly manning a sexy ship through night waters with a guest seems like an appropriate image (going suggestively down a canal, until he hits the open ocean and kicks it up a few notches).  A lake that acts as a moat surrounding a castle high on a rock might end up being a pertinent location.  Wind might be important, but that would depend on the types of ships utilized.  I would assume.

I know nothing of boats or sailing or whatnot, to be honest.  I appeal to you guys for help brainstorming!
