Hello All,
IMO, Moonboats vary in size from small, fast messenger vessels to a few large lumbering transports. I think the average sized moonboat could carry a few score troops, perhaps as many as a hundred with equipment - or equivalent amount of cargo.
How far you can get in a moonboat depends on the phase of the moon (once you leave the glowline) and the power of the rituals (andhte priest) that are driving it. It would also depend on - as Nick said - cloud and wind etc.
